Amazingly, all four of our adult children joined Jim and me for a special family vacation in Egypt. Midst the city of Cairo, the pyramids at Giza, and the beaches of Sharm El Sheikh on the Red Sea, we celebrated Jim's birthday in style. Following the kids' return to their jobs in the US, Jim & I thoroughly enjoyed a beautiful cruise on the Nile where we were truly in awe of the ancient tombs and temples once covered by sand for thousands of years and now standing in all their splendor.
So, from barely being able to depart the States in the middle of a Nor'easter blizzard, I now find myself in the 99 degree F temperature of Ghana's hot, dry season. Jim & I arrived in Accra on March 14 & continued north to Tamale this past Monday, March 15. On Tuesday, he was warmly welcomed back by so many people at the hospital - on the wards, in the OR, the lab, in various departments, and of course in the Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic. My welcome greeting at COLWOD rivaled his at the hospital. Screams, bear hugs and kisses can't help but make one feel right at home.
