At it Again in Addis Ababa

Tenastellegn! Time to commence Ethiopian Adventure #5! Like the Fast and the Furious franchise, this one gets better each time around (even if we're now straight-to-DVD). For a guy who loves to travel and explore new places, I just can't seem to get enough of this place (either that or I'm a sucker for 1970 Russian Lada taxis, copious dust, and endless coffee). This month, I'm tagging along as the +1 on my awesome wife's adventure here. Liz is an Oral & Maxillofacial surgery resident at Emory and this year she's participating in Emory's Global Health Service Partnership with Addis Ababa University. That's a fancy way of saying that she's spending the month in Addis working alongside the oral surgery residents at Addis Ababa University, learning from them, providing extra hands for retracting, and hopefully giving a few lectures. This is her first international surgery trip and I can't wait to see what type of shenanigans/surgery she gets up
