missing my buddy

Amélie has gone to Nyungwe Forest for the weekend.  Nyungwe Forest is 1,000 sq km of lush rainforest in the southwest part of Rwanda.  I would love to have gone hiking with Amélie but needed to return to Kigali for an anesthesia strategic planning session today and to teach the Simulation module of the Teaching and Learning Course.  Amélie did the canopy walk today – a wonderful walk above the treetops – and will do the waterfall hike tomorrow.  She promised to get a photo on the “resident rock”.  I have a photo of every resident who has accompanied me to Rwanda on this rock (with the exception of Genevieve).

The Simulation module today was well received.  The course participants were divided into two groups and each group had to design, run and debrief a simulated scenario for the other group.  Once again, the quality was excellent. Huge kudos to the group for continuing to show up on Friday afternoons.

I had a most welcome swim and shower after 4 days in Butare with only a cold drizzle of a shower.  Being clean is such a pleasure! 

Amélie will be back in Kigali tomorrow night.  In the meantime, Emmy is taking good care of her.
