For #ThrowbackThursday, 5 days in #Somaliland. Soaking up the privilege of observing a master at work: photojournalist Lynsey Addario capturing images for our National Geographic project on #maternalmortality. Having Lynsey teach me a cool iPhone photo filter trick on the night before she left was amazing enough. But then, on the way home from dinner that night, riding shotgun with Madame Edna Adan Ismail in her trusty Tata 4-wheel drive, the living legend who built herself a hospital In Hargeisa began to sing. "Though we ain't got a barrel of money...." I chimed in, "Maybe we're ragged and funny.....” "But we're traveling along, singing a song, side by side." In a moment like this, you suspect you must've done something right in your life to earn such a transcendent experience. You realize that no matter how many curves life has thrown you, or how many challenges may lie ahead, you are #blessedandhighlyfavored. #natgeotraveller #amomenttoremember #globalhealth
