Due to the NOTSS course, the academic day for anesthesia residents was moved from Monday to Tuesday morning. We spent another fantastic morning with the residents teaching each other and engaging in passionate discussions over the best way to do difficult cases. After the half day was finished, Margaret and I were picked up for our drive to Butare.

Butare (now named Huye) is in the Southern province and it takes about 2.5 hours to get there. It was the original intellectual seat of Rwanda – the university was founded there and the other main University Teaching Hospital (CHUB) is located there. While in Butare we stayed with the wonderful family of one of the anesthesiologists (who happened to be in Halifax of all places, so I did not get to meet him). It was lovely to stay in a home with children and puppies and gardens and a wonderful host. It was a short trip to Butare due to the NOTSS course and the Good Friday holiday. But it was very worthwhile.
