Visiting Dr. Aba for the last time

Dr. Aba, his wife, me, Lisandro, and Dr. Marks eating at "Mukbasa 7 Freres" or "7 Brothers Fish"

They took us to "Mukbasa 7 Freres" when we suggested that we want to eat what Djiboutians eat. It was a nice place which felt like thousands of miles away from any American or French person.

Mukbasa (wood grilled fish), coka, Dates, Pan with bananas and chocolate

This dish is supposed to be cooked Yemenese Style. Wood grilled fish, dates and banana and chocolate wrapped in a tortilla-like "Pan" doused in African bee honey.
This is the best food outside of Camp Lemonier I would say. Much better than the overpriced, "Planete Hollywood".

This is where they cook the fish

We were escorted to the back of the kitchen for a little tour. This little wood fire pit is where they cook the fish on a wooden stick. It was very good. I was very thankful that I ate before seeing the appearance of the kitchen, because it isn't exactly "health inspector" passable. But I want the whole Djiboutian experience even if it gives me diarrhea.

At the 7th Adventist Dental Clinic We gave them a whole bunch of casting material for making false teeth and dental supplies. They were very happy.

November Day in Djibouti Africa

A corner in Djibouti after the rains

Cows eating garbage I think it was kinda neat to see cows with long horns eating trash.
After the rains in Djibouti
When it rains in Djibouti, it floods. There are no flood drains here.
