The 6+ hour journey to Garissa from Nairobi, without A/C!
The sign we were so happy to see, when our gas tank was so low that we were probably running on fumes for a while. It was surprising to all of us how much greenery there was in Garissa.
FGM is still a large problem here but there are public campaigns against it.
Christine's house that she shares with two other local doctors. She is leaving soon to be posted in another "hardship area" (i feel like hardship is an understatement).
Our local cabbie's car (Christine in the passenger seat). I loved his air fresheners - one of them a U.S flag, and the other said "scent of eden"...it just seemed too ironic.
Our lovely badges that we need to get in and around the U.N. compound. The security here is really strict, thankfully!
When I got settled in my room at the UN compound in Dadaab, I noticed a few choice items on the night table: a dirty scalpel, a vial of lidocaine, and a vial of ketamine... good times!
