02.12.15 Guam to Pohnpei

The day layover in Guam was fun and I oculd have spent more time there. This time stayed in a hotel and splet for a couple of hours then headed to the Micronesia Mall. Needed a pair of shoes and there was a Macy's, PayLess and the Aerosoles just went out of business. But Macy's had a great sale and it was fun to be in a mall again.

Then made it to Pohnpei at 2 AM and was exhausted. The workshop went well, but there has not been many advancements in the field taking care of Ebola patients as I had hoped. They only alluded to some places doing a bit more sophisticated management than basic care. The mortality in these places is 75%. Hence Americans and Europeans go home if symptoms develop.

Here are a few pictures from Guam and Pohnpei.

It is always nice to see "USA" when traveling.
