Everyone says that life is much slower paced in Latin America...and I don't think I really believe it. It's just been go go go since I got here! Sorry to those of you (mom) who were worried by my lack of posts the last few days, I'm feeling good as new. Well, right now I'm kind of hungry, but that doesn't really count. Anyway, I just have a few minutes here before my last Spanish class for a few weeks. Next week I will have a lot more free time and I'll be sure to fill you all in on the juicy Ecuadorian details. But in summary....
Wed: Saw lots of children with coughs and elderly people with leg sores in the clinic. Learned a lot from the med student rotating with me, and yes...I poured more antiseptic. At night took a Salsa lesson and went to ladies night at a local bar (free drinks and no men allowed in until 10), good time.
Thurs: More coughing children and sores. AND, so cool, we got to meet Ecuador's Minister of Health at the clinic, even got a pic with her. I'll post it later. Drank goat milk fresh from the animal. For supper went out to Crepes y Waffles, where we had AMAZING food. I didn't ever want to leave. Sarah and Dad, I have new crepes ideas for you.
Friday: All there is in the emergency room are children with coughs and elderly women with sores, I swear. Finished up interviews for my project at this clinic. Yay! Finally got time to go to a working computer and answer some emails. Heading to Otavalo in a few hours to peruse the native market there.
New Word of the Day: dar la luz (an expression for having a baby, literally means "giving a light")
