Arrived at Bongolo

I've arrived! I left on the 15th from Philadelphia, had a short layover in Frankfurt and then flew to Libreville, Gabon. Thankfully, the plane touched down and I got my luggage before the power went out in the entire city. :) The power came on in time for dinner and to turn on the air-conditioning to get some sleep. The next day I caught an hour flight down to Huimba and then it was a 2 hour drive to Bongolo Hospital.

The area around the hospital is beautiful. There's a waterfall just below the hospital compound and the house I'm living in has a great view of the river.

I'll start work on Monday.
