For yesterday haha

Hello to all.
It seems that we are all behind a day here because the computers didn´t work and the members that wrote the night before didn´t have time for another blog so here is yesterdays. Bob and steve left early in the morning on time with Gustavo after our breakfast. The problem is Auroa was on Hondurian time haha. She didn´t come until 830 and colleen could not go to the clinic with us. She has an upper resperatory infection and a fever i am happy to report that today she is ok and went. So anyway we went to a small community only about 10 minutes away from our hotel and the living conditions here were absolutely horrendous. The water was their sewer and the roads were not able to be accessed by cars so we walked. They closed school for us because it was the only place that they had big enough for us. No sooner than we got settled Brit sliced her hand on a fan. She sucked it up and continued. It was hot and humid all day and even though the conditions were poor the peoples hearts were as large as they could possibly get. Smiles all around. Even at lunch (Ham sandwiches and cheeetos) they were throwing our trash away for us. After triage was over tanya and i (jake) taught the kids how to play duck duck goose. However we did not know the word for goose so we played duck duck parrot. We saw over 170 patients and they all were content to wait in line. We played with the kids and when we went to leave we had no space in the pickup truck so all of us piled into a 5 passenger truck. all 14 of us. Dinner was chicken and rice and everybody packed for tomorrow and hit the hay.
