It has a been a while since I have updated all you lovely people. I have honestly been having a hard time finding inspiration. A lot has happened (or so it feels) in the last three weeks or so, and as a result this post will be in the classic bullet format. I see no way around it.
Since my last post I have:
-left Tanzania. It was bitter sweet. I was ready to go, but I will miss that country. It is a beautiful place, with beautiful people, and holds a special place in my heart. I would love to say more, but somehow the words don’t seem to be coming. If you want a place to visit sometime…. Go to Tanzania.
-I visited Mombassa with my Tanzanian wife J (this is an inside joke)/colleague/ and I would consider now good friend. He is a wonderful travel companion, and I think has kept me from blowing my lid out of frustration on numerous occasions. Sir, I thank you. You know who you are. If you want another cool place to visit Mombasa also gets the Daniel Barnhoorn seal of approval. Cool infusion of culture, great beaches, and great climate. If you do go, visit Diani Beach, and Ali Barbou’s Cave restaurant. Both are well worth it.
-I arrived Safely in Nigeria! It was a terrible trip, but I made it. It has been great to catch up with family, see the nephews and niece, bro out with my brother, and get some delicious home cooking. Janice, it’s no wonder Jono slipped a bit after he married you J.
-Climbed a mountain. Dave you probably wouldn’t agree, but I’m gonna count it.
-Volunteered a couple days at Bingham University Teaching Hospital. It has been a great experience. I’ve also seen some pretty gross things, and learned a lot. Burns are gross, don’t get third degree burns. Don’t drive a motorcycle in Nigeria either, it’s a bad life choice.
-I was also lucky enough to be able to scrub in and assist with a surgery while I was here. Cool Stuff.
- I know I am forgetting at least three things that I thought were important, maybe I will think of them later. This post hasn’t been as long or as deep as I wanted it to be but I’ve been told by a few of my admiring fans that I need to lighten up my posts a bit. So there you have it.
