We passed by this doorway on our way up the stairs to the restaurant on the U. of Ibadan campus. Even though the sign says "Close the Door Always", it was always open. The restaurant was not a fancy place and had a limited menu. After eating African rice and spicy, tough, gristly beef for dinner Sunday night and lunch on Monday, we wanted something different for dinner that night. We finally settled on scrambled eggs, which we also ate Tuesday morning, Tuesday evening, and Wednesday morning before returning to Lagos. Lunch for Tuesday was more African rice, hard chicken in a red spicy sauce and mystery meat in a red spicy sauce. I didn't eat either meat, but the sauce was on the rice, so I know it was hot stuff. There were no salads, cooked veggies or fruit available. After returning to Lagos, I made us all tuna sandwiches, sliced cucumbers, carrot sticks and cut up a pineapple. It was so wonderful!
More than 24 people rode up to Ibadan on this nice bus. M.J., the smiling white face, is a neo-natal nurse who runs the N.I.C.U. for an Intermountain Hospital. She is a wonderful teacher, and all the nurses and doctors here love her. Ike Ferguson looks like he's thinking about all that needs to be done when we get to Ibadan. His wife, Gloria, is resting because she knows how much work is waiting for her when she gets there.
Dr. Mark (left) is a neo-natal specialist who works for the Univ. of Calif. Davis hospital that is in Sacramento. He works with all the preemies and critically ill babies. He also enjoys research and spends time at a lab on the UC Davis campus. He volunteers several weeks a year to help with LDS Charities. M.J. has also been donating her vacation time for the past several years and has helped in many different countries.
Loading up the bus to go home on Wednesday - you can tell from M.J.'s yawn that she has had enough fun. We got a slow start and had to wait for many people on Sunday when we left Lagos. However, everyone was anxious to return on Wednesday, and we actually left ahead of schedule. Amazing!
