I moved into my permanent Container Living Unit (CLU) where I'll stay until I depart Djibouti. It's twice as big as my temporary CLU and has it's own private bath and shower.

Farewell EMF 14
It was time to say farewell to the folks of Expeditionary Medical Facility 14. After 9 months in Africa, it was time for them to return to their families in the United States - and in doing so, they passed the torch to us. We'll miss them as we formed friendships over the past couple of weeks. We wish them well and thank them for a job well done.
Peltier Hospital
I made my first visit to Peltier Hospital, the Djiboutian Hospital in Djibouti, to meet with the Cardiac Surgeon. He is the only Cardiac Surgeon in Djibouti. The first thing you notice when you step out of your vehicle at Peltier is the smell of raw sewage. You have to be careful to watch your step as you enter the hospital. It's not uncommon to see cats walking around the complex, finding a cool place to lay. There are multiple buildings on the hospital complex and there are signs that the facilities are improving with new construction and help from foreign countries.
