Yesterday I finally received a call from the
Mufumbwe Boma Hospital! Hurray! They wanted me to arrive at the hospital at 8
am for a tour. Having decided to hitch to the Boma this morning and not the
night before I woke up at 530 to be on the side of the road by dawn; this was
not the best decision I could have made. I waited for 3 hours before even
seeing my first car and it was going in the wrong direction. I finally made it
to the hospital by 1100, which in Zambia time I actually was early. I had a
short meeting with the Chief Nursing Officer who told me I should come back at
1400 for a tour. !400 turned into tomorrow morning at 0800. It was all ok since
I got to have an egg sandwich at the only “restaurant” in town. The term
restaurant is used loosely because it is just a kitchen with a single stove
that some lady makes 3 different dishes a day that sit on the counter all day in
buffet warming trays. I didn’t care
though it was bread and eggs I will gladly pay the consequences later, but so
far so good. My digestive system appears to be functioning normally.
I had my first encounter cooking rape today, horrible
name but delicious green leafy vegetable. It is a cross between swiss chard and
kale. I think my body is happy for a
change from the massive amount of cabbage I have been consuming.
