Rain.....Rain.....Rain.........Cold and Wet!!!

33We had clinic today and our travels started early. There will be a lot of parades and activities in the streets and if we do not leave before they start, we will get blocked in town without an escape!

I met Maury, Gaspar, Juan, Marcos and Elaine outside of Chichi. Elaine is a PA Student from TX and she will be doing an internship with us for a few weeks.

As soon as we left Chichi, the mist started. When we got closer to Chutzurob, it was more of a rain and it did not stop. Juan and I were thinking the same thing........that we might have trouble getting down to the clinic. I don't fear getting to clinic, my fear is climbing back up to the road if the rains continue through the day.

When we arrived, Marcos had already pulled over at the top of the hill. We put our rain jackets on and walked down to see how many patients we had waiting and what the brothers thought. There were patients waiting and we decided to leave the trucks parked and carry the equipment down.

We had a great clinic of 19 medical patients and 10 dental patients.

Sebastian wanted a photo with his wife and Elaine. Does this photo look like it was his request??

These three little girls are usually at the clinic.

As soon as we were finished, Sebastian's daughter came to "present" her baby to us. His name is Sebastian Elias. He is 5 weeks old and very precious. Elaine jumped up on a bench to take our photo.

The rains stopped right before we finished clinic. We carried everything to the top of the hill without any problems. The owner of the store, where we parked the trucks had left but told the promoters he did not want us turning around at his store. Well, there is no other place to turn around.......and he was gone. So, we got the trucks turned around after making 8-point turns and we made runs for the top.......we had a lot of fish-tailing going on but we made it.

It was a good day and as always, we are thankful for safe travels.
