Friday night in Ramallah

   We checked on the pt.s remaining in the hospital this morning.  They look good and most will be dc home.  It was a good week of surgeries, with no major complications or mishaps.  We have a good team, I am proud to be with.
 1)  ER nurse at heart
 2)  Muhammad still has a R 6th nerve palsy but the L looks better.

 

Hemangioma dressing failure....

 

 Taim post crani pneumonia.  Out of ICU, on the floor, getting better, cute as ever.

 

Daily breakfast buffet....



   Now, we are in Ramallah staying at the City Inn Palace. The rooms are spacious and the cappuccino in the lobby is average.  We are meeting Steve for dinner at 7pm.  Many Ramallah restaurants serve wine.  I'm looking forward to a nice glass of wine with dinner.
  Ramallah is a hilly city with streets running every which way.  It seems they may come out, like spokes on a wheel from circles, anyway, we tried to walk to a restaurant and ATM in another part of town Kevin and I are familiar with. Armed with a "rubbish" map and my poor Arabic we headed out. In the end, we settled for a pastries from a small bakery, corn from a street cart, and a taxi ride home.
  One of my favorite bakeries is here.  They make bite sized chocolate croissants that melt in your mouth, for 1 shekel.  A visit to Ramallah is not complete with a stop there.  Hopefully they will be open tomorrow, my mouth is watering thinking about them.
