Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Our trip to Addis was uneventful.  Our flights were easy, and so were our connections.  Everyone made it on time, our luggage all arrived safely, and we are already busy.  


Our team has ten members from Philadelphia, Boston, California and Oregon.  We have 4 ENT surgeon, 1 ICU nurse, 3 Audiologists, an administrator and me.  Today the ENT doctors gave lectures to the Ethiopian ENT residents.  

Several of us went to church where we met some others from the US who live and work here.  This afternoon some of us went to Cure Hospital to drop off equipment.  We will see ENT patients in clinic there tomorrow, and I will help in the OR.  Others went sightseeing and we will have a team dinner tonight with a few others who we know in town.

It is mid 70s here and sunny.  The hotel was busy this weekend with visiting dignitaries, graduations and a wedding.  I had time for a quick swim in the pool.
