TRIP TO MARSABIT

I went to Marsabit yesterday to do some dispensary business and dispensary shopping. It is
about 160 km. one way and usually takes about 5 hours one way. The road was worse than usual - all dried out, but full of ruts and sand traps here and there. So it was more like a 6 and 1/2 hour drive due to slower driving and a diversion which was a bit longer. Also today the food relief truck finally made it to Arsim. That will mean less people asking me for food help. I plan a trip to Nairobi at the end of the week to attend a meeting and other business including saying good bye to the CLBI team and receiving another short term volunteer, Yolanda, a medical student. We will travel via Samburu Game Park and hopefully see some large amount of animals on the way.
