We (Dr Pat Come and Marilyn) have made it to Kigali !! Have
faith, there is land without snow and shovelling!!! We left
Boston pre dawn on Friday. Taxi came to my neighborhood but I
couldnt lift suitcases over the sidewalk mounds . Eventually made
our way on first leg of flight to DC and yes, it was snowing again
- small remnants of the previous stom that delayed all of the
flights by 1 day. Twelve assorted flight hrs to Ethiopia on
leg 2. Addis is olive green and filled with brown rolling hills.
We also had a bonus leg for our jourmey rerouted next to
Nairobi because we hadn't seen enough tarmac! Kind King Faisal
hospital people met us ouside Kigali customs after hour 26 of travel .
We are busy tonight at the guest house reviewing many case
clips and details from Dr. Joseph M. Also time for renewing
friendhips with our house hostess, Betty . We met Dr Michael
Koo fomm Yale, a 4th year who is going to help us a bit
during his time here.

Finally, we got to see our wonderful Jean Paul who came to deliver our phones and catch up. He looks great all dressed in a fine Italian navy suit fresh from his sister's wedding today.

So leave the snow and come join us in land of flowering trees and afternoon quick thundershowers

Go Team Heart 2011 !!!! Marilyn

Marilyn and Pat also contacted us on what is Sunday evening for them during their first dinner at Top Tower. Many of the same staff remember us and looking forward to our return. They begin tomorrow in early morning!!
