Day One at Cure Hospital

It sure took a long time to get here!  44 hours I think - it was snowing in Kabul which meant flight delays.  I walked the airport in Dubai for hours. 


Painless really with good coffee shops


Just ignore the $6 per cup price tag  :)

So finally met up with med-surg nurse Margo from Denver  -  a seasoned Kabul traveler


After a short diversion to Kandahar (still snowing in Kabul), we landed at the Kabul airport


Look!  Snow...really  :)  For everyone who was worried about it being too hot here

It's not - trust me
The hospital ran out of fuel today, so there was no heat in the hospital.
Funny, though, there were no complaints.  Everyone was just so thrilled to have good quality health care.  I was grateful for the head scarf as it provided a layer of warmth.

Silly me...neglected to take camera to the hospital today.  I will do better tomorrow.
What I will say for now is I have had the pleasure of meeting a phenomenal and committed team of doctors and nurses.
Shall we do this again tomorrow?
