Today, Zacualpa was continuing to celebrate All Saint's Day. Tomas, Manuel and I arrived and quickly set up clinic..........as one patient was there. Oh well......everything can not be perfect, right???
Well, during that consult, Tomas drove through Zacualpa announcing the clinic. There were hundreds of people walking right past us to go to the cementary. I kept thinking that as they returned, they might stop in and see what we had but I was wrong.
We did end up with eleven patients for the day.
After we had seen all of the patients, we took turns walking up to see what was going on. The cemetery is huge but you can not see if from where we have clinic. There are two sections to it.
One section is obviously for those who have some money and can afford more.
This section is for those who can not afford more than just a plot. Most were decorated with flowers, food and drinks.
This apparently was a family with white bows joining them.
We returned to Chichi about 3:00. The group has landed safe and Kemmel called to say they have not had any problems. We will meet for dinner tonight and then begin our clinics in the morning. It will be a busy but a good three days of clinic!!
