The last day of the clinic was non-stop and a good finish

We went continuously from the time we started this morning until 5 pm when we were loading our equipment and supplies into a pickup truck.  We saw 426 patients and the day literally flew by.  We said our heartfelt goodbyes to our old and new friends after a challenging day of figuring out what to do for the people as our stock of lenses, frames, reading glasses, etc. dwindled, as they always do at the end of a trip.  The last half hour of the day was filled with taking inventory of our various supplies, packing a locking up our footlockers and making sure we had not forgotten anything.

I am currently packing up for an extra 4 days here in Kenya, mostly doing wildlife safaris with a concentration on birds, first at Samburu, which has nearly 700 species and then at Nanyuki, another good game park.  We hope to have dinner with Catherine on Tuesday afternoon before heading to the Nairobi airport for our flights home on Lufthansa.  I may or may not have good Internet for the next few days, so don't quit looking here.  I will catch up and begin posting again on the journey home and will get a nice album of pictures together of the clinic and then of our nature subjects as my time permits.

Cynthia and Alex will be going to Lake Naivasha with one of the teams from Trinity Klein tomorrow and will fly back ahead of us on Sunday night.

Blessings until I can post here again!
