8/15/12 9 pm

This morning we again woke up late, but it was ok because we didn't have plans until 3 pm.  We were both awake for hours overnight, and sleeping in seemed to cover the missed opportunity earlier in the early morning.  After eating breakfast we read and lounged until 3 pm when we went back to the bakery for fresh baguette to take with us when we were to leave tomorrow.

At 330 pm, we dodged a rain shower, but nothing like last night.  We went to Musee - which has several huts, most of which were closed, but the ones that were opened had some historical artifacts.  Around the buildings was a zoo - we saw some chimps, a hippo submerged in water, a crocodile, some small deer like creatures, and a statue of a giraffe.  On my trips to Africa and the Wichita, Kansas zoo, I am 0 for 3 on giraffes, zebras and elephants.  Wichita's excuse was that it was 33 degrees Fahrenheit and the animals were inside,  but that didn't stop Jody Elson, Dr. Amy Seery and I!

Upon arriving back at the guest house we met the newest member of our team going to the hospital, a between third and fourth year medical student who will be at our hospital for 4.5 month, and then in another location for 4.5 months.

We had a wonderful dinner of French Baguette, Peanut Sauce, Spaghetti and cucumbers and tomatoes!  And dessert was amazing cookies.

We walked home in a slight mist, and filled out some paperwork before deciding it was time for stories to pass the time until an appropriate post flight bedtime for Josh.

We also found out today that instead of flying out to the hospital tomorrow, we will be flying out on Saturday, two days later than expected.  There were problems with the airplane, and taking the bus wouldn't be a good option based on the amount of rain that has been falling.  So, we'll see what the next two days holds, but we will remain in the capitol!
