Before my work trip to Uganda, I went to a WHO meeting for guideline development on health workforce education. Here are a few photos of the cute town it was in.  The hotel was right near the lake and there was a circus in town visiting.

a day at the hospital and MUHAS

I thought I would take photos of a typical day at MUHAS

zanzibar

Hello,
This past weekend I went to zanzibar, the paradise on an island.  I was very lucky to spend one night near stonetown with a very good friend who now lives on the island for the year.

We also went up north and stayed at the hotel there.

We saw dolphins as we sailed in a daoh to Mnemba archipelago where we snorkeled.  There were amazing amounts of sealife and fish and anemone.

We walked along the beach and saw amazing starfishes and overall had a great time with my friends and coworkers.  Check out my friend's blog (with more pictures) of our trip!

PS  The internet has not been great, so it has contributed to me not posting on this blog

a quick update

Hello,
A quick update.  I have spent the week working at MUHAS, having a great time meeting the wonderful physicians and staff.  I had a great week!
Last weekend I went to the beach (south beach) with gary and molly.  it was fantastic!
I will also post some photos.  This weekend we are going to Zanzibar!  
Being here I find myself reflecting on a lot of important issues.  I wanted to discuss them in my blog except I dont seem to find the time to write them down.

only one week left :(
