we have arrived

we are reunited with lousie, lynn, justin, Jean Martin who is a pediatric surgeon who is provding us interesting patients and internet expertise.

Justin started last week, and he is full of stories and has been exercising at the Serena hotel. JM has been here 5 days and has been operating at CHUK

Louise her trip was smooth but no one to pick her up at the airport and so she befriended a researcher from Bolitimore and so was taken by there dirver to Gorilla Hotel-good name!! The room was 150.00 but was discounted to 80.00

We tried to communicate with Esperance and Bona to make sure that Lousie was picked up, but there was denial of the fact that there was three people coming. However Justin thought Lousie was coming at 10.00 am and spent day in the apartment waiting for Louise.

So Lynn and I were met by Bona and family and Esperance and children and flowers and big hugs and so all wonderful, and so far we have experienced one power outage since being here 1 hour.

SO head lamps are being used already. We have had many torrential downpours becuase of rainy season.

Love to all and we will be in touch -Our internet is working slowly.

Don;t worry we will be safe!!!

  2. Thanks for the update! I've called Ruth & Forbes to read the content to them so that they are reassured you have arrived safe and sound. I like the "Gorilla Hotel"... images in my mind's eye of King Kong standing on the roof! Is Jean a french name for John or English woman's name? I'm reading the text out loud to Mum and Dad and want to get the pronunciation right! CHU is Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Kingalli(? ) are the staff English or French speaking? Looking forward to hearing all about it...
    Hugs all round!
