Our daughter Heidi just finished her fellowship in transplant surgery. She had a few days before she starts private practice and came for a visit. I think her siblings wanted her to check up on their parents (what are they doing over there?). Her husband Rob and his dad were on a trip to Costa Rica, so she traveled solo. She got a little taste of surgery, outpatient clinics, the extensive pathology, and was proudlyintroduce to the staff. She presented a talk on liver disease at our Grand Rounds. We introduced her to our friends including Fikru the artist, Wendu our ortho colleague, dinner with Marta and her family with the coffee ceremony, Greg our French resident, Elizabeth my student assistant, Rick Hodes and his adopted family, Dave and Merrie Harding from Orlando, and others.
We went down to Tanzania, for safari and met up with our young friend and guide Apollo. Apollo calls us Baba & Mama and Heidi, Sister. We visited Tarangire Park, Lake Manyara, The Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. The scenery in each park is different and spectacular. The animals are majestic in their natural beauty. This was my 4th and Barbara’s 3rd trip to northern Tanzania. Heidi returned home--I think to get some rest. We hope to have her and Rob back in the near future for a visit.
