Day Three in Zona Reyna

This morning was another great view, as stepped out of the tents.  And to think, we will be back in civilization tomorrow.

We walked up to the house for breakfast.  We enjoyed black beans, scrambled eggs with hotdogs tortillas and coffee.  Yes, I did say hotdogs........that was not a typo.  It is something that is common here in Guatemala..........

Patients arriving at the clinic.

Since the group will leave at 2 pm, we only gave out 60 patient numbers.

Word has spread!!  The talk on the roads is that there is an ultrasound machine and the ladies came from all over.  Sally barely made it outside of the curtain today.  I kept asking her if she needed anything but she hung strong!  Go, Sally, go!!

This is one of the patients and his t-shirt.  He had his back to me so I just HAD to seize the moment. 
Sarah wanted this shirt really bad but I told her it was jut not appropriate to take the shirt off of his back :)

This was one of my favorite patients of the day.  He was wide awake and just a content little guy.

Sally wanted to give him a little kiss and he loved it!

At lunch, we had spaghetti and tortillas!  Now that is a carbohydrate lunch.  And guess what else was cooked with the spaghetti???????   Yep, more hotdogs!!

This chicken was just roosting away...........

After lunch the rest of the group started packing up their things to head to Quiche.  Again, our group opted to remain one more night, basically for safety reasons.

As the guys loaded the truck, it got full very quickly!  We were gifted bananas, oranges and plantains, which took up a lot of room.

The group left close to the time they planned on.  When they left, it was finally time to relax a little.  The owner of the house went to get a hammock for Sally.  She kicked off her mud boots and relaxed in the shade.

While Sally relaxed, the rest of us drained the reservoir of water a little more.  She would have her chance a little later.

We really wanted something cold to drink, so we set out in the truck, in hopes of finding refrigerator. Our travel proved to be in vain but we had a good time.

The view from above was also very pretty.

When we returned, the moon was coming out.  It was just a sliver of moon but it was fantastic.

We sat in the school and talked for awhile.  It has been a great three days of clinic.

Everyone worked hard and made it successful.  Erv, was always cranking up the truck so Sally could do an ultrasound. Erv, has a heart of gold.  He jumps when there is anything that he can do.  Sarah, helped in many ways.  She helped with getting meds, keeping the line organized and anticipated things we would need......such a big help.  Deysi, gave all of the injections, helped with crowd control, translated a little into K'iche'.......such as asset she is.

We prayed that the group would make it back to Quiche, without any problem.  It was a great three days and I hope to return again.
