Frank’s Second Trip to Africa: Part 1

A friend of mine, Frank Ordway, has been working with the U of Washington and a few volunteers to help AIDS clinics in Africa migrate from paper-based systems to electronic ones. This series is made up of emails he sent back while on his second trip to Africa. His previous trip is documented here.

I arrived safely, soundly and largely pain free in Kampala two days ago. 3 flights, (Seattle-Amsterdam-Nairobi-Kampala) in a total of 30 hours from Bellingham with 21 hours of flight time, we live in a remarkable age. I got exit rows all the way, including sitting next to another gentleman with a herniated disc and we took turns lying on the ground and taking pain pills. To give you a sense of my state of mind at the time, on the flight from Amsterdam to Nairobi I cried like a baby watching the Last Samurai.
