Butare

We had a pleasant drive from Kigali to Butare this morning enjoying our conversation with Emmy.  After fortifying ourselves at Cafe Connection with some truly delicious coffee, we joined Egide in the OR.  As always, the ORs in Butare are refreshingly orderly compared to the experience in Kigali.  Drs Jeanne and Theo have done a great job. The anesthesia machines in Butare have been significantly upgraded.  It used to be that two or three were attached together to get one functioning machine.
 Later in the afternoon Mat did some teaching with Egide and Josue while I worked with Theo on the anesthesia department strategic plan.

We are staying at the Hotel Mont Huye.  Great find, Sara.  It is quiet and simple and incredibly cheap.  Dinner (with a large Mutzig for Mat) was about the price of a couple of teas at the Serena. We preordered dinner for journal club tomorrow using our very poor French.

Michelle has arrived in Kigali and will be joining us in Butare on Friday for our Nyungwe Forest weekend adventure.

Jeanne, Mat and Egide
