Here is some of what I've seen/done in the past 11 days. Might be the most I see outside of the hospital for a while. 

My first hike here (last weekend) was to Waimano Falls: 

                                                   

                                      

Jumping into the pool from the cave!

 I met Laredo on the way back-his hair and my shirt have some things in common!

 Back in Honolulu-the entrance to the hospital: 

A (closed) crag, find the bolt?

Makapu'u Pools

This Sunday, I went out with a group for a hike near Waimanalo called Tom Tom. This is the money shot, and is my favorite of them all. 

Then I was given a tour of a US submarine-no pics allowed though!

And this is the view from Tantalus, a long windy road not too far from our house.

Coming home soon, but thought I'd post a couple of pictures from Malawi anyway. These are all at Lake Malawi, where we went the first weekend I was here!

Muzungu Life

I have taken an average of over 100 pictures per day since I got to Uganda, so really this is only a few! 

You can buy Nora Roberts here. I took this picture for Gandy. 

Looking out from the top of Murchison Falls.

Rainbow over Murchison Falls. 

Me! 

Water Buffalo

Sunrise over the Nile.

Lion! It was far away behind the grass, so this is one of the only two pictures I have. But it was HUGE. All of the animals in the field were perfectly still, watching for where it would go try to hide so it could sneak up on them. 

I think this was the not Kob...

I rode on the roof for the safari. That's my shadow!

Hippos!

This is apparently safari camping. We had beds and showers. 

Baby warthogs!

Cool bird, eh?

H-i-p-p-o (usually they spend the day in the water and the night out, so this was a fun one)

Probably the coolest elephant experience-he was hanging out in the river while we were on our boat cruise to the falls. 

Approach to Murchison Falls from the river. 

Me at the falls approach.

Other falls. 

Hospital

I think maybe it looks like I never actually made it to work in a hospital here. Not true!

This may be a little misleading-the hospital complex includes the big building in the background. It looks a little fancier here than it does up close. 

Rounds. Notice the choice of light source for looking at imaging. 

Yeah...

Wenchi

Went on another trip this weekend-this time to a crater lake on Mt. Wenchi, about 2h outside of Addis. Spent the night in a lodge and the day on horses and a boat. Not too bad really:) 

Yes, I am in Ethiopia and I took this picture. 

And this one. This was the descent into the crater. 

And this one! I had trouble picking only a few to post...

Monkeys also stay at the lodge. We were checking out their dinner-apparently they like injera too. 

The four of us, about to get on the boat.

Just thought this was cool. 

Gamecocks again! 

Horse ride through the valley.
