Day 4!!

Today was quite the day! It was our last medical camp day as a whole group. We visited "Casa Del Adulto Mayor", an elderly nursing home where we saw many kind, warm, and grateful patients. We had much better luck with the weather compared to yesterday, it was a sunny 92 degrees! Despite having a scare earlier in the day among our team, we were able to finish off on a high note and earlier than what we have done in the past two days. No worries, everyone is all healthy and doing well!

Once we returned to our hotel and after enjoying another delicious meal prepared by the wonderful  hotel staff - which included rice with corn and carrots, chicken with mango sauce, buttered toast, cabbage salad, cucumber salad,  and of course,  yummy fruit (mango, banana, papaya, pineapple) -we set off on a adventurous and somewhat frightening ride in a "moto-taxi" which was a completely open three-wheeled cart bike. Our destination was "POPS", a delicious ice cream parlor with a variety of different flavors ranging from Choco chip (chocolate chip) to Pasion QueQue ( no available translation, but it was good!) We also had the opportunity to quickly step inside  and see their local pharmacy, which was nothing like the pharmacies back home because this was a very small space and consisted of a few workers and an interesting array of products. After our excursion, we took another moto taxi back to the hotel, which was another pure adrenalin rush.

There is no doubt that many lifelong memories were made today among us all. So far this experience has been such an eye opener, and we cannot wait to see whats in store for tomorrow!
