We landed in Frankfurt and had an easy flight. Many of us are going to Philly and have a long layover. Five of us took the train to Weisbaden, having coffee.

At the airport in Addis. Made it through customs, check in, immigration and security without issues. Home tomorrow night! It was a terrific trip.

Dr. Glenn and Dr. Allan and I had a busy two days at Butajira about 120 km south of Addis. The town has 35,000 people but the local area is more like 250,000. Went to Grarbara hospital where they see 50,000 outpatients a year, mostly ophthalmology. They also do rehab, epilepsy and ENT. We saw about 150 patients.




Lots of animals on the grounds, some in a small zoo!

Many in our group enjoyed the sunshine and some shopping!
