Damp

Sometimes there can be a little extra moisture in the air. 

Today before we loaded the truck for clinical, we had a small rain shower. Normally, a small shower is OK, but in DR the humidity level goes to 100% and then just stays there. Your clothes don't dry and sweating while you work just makes for a damp day. 

However, we all still enjoyed ourselves at the clinic!  

Another day with a home visit. Lindsi and Jessica (Jessie) jumped at the opportunity to visit a DR home and meet and treat a family. 

Eric says "I love the smell of morning in the morning". Not sure he's quoting that right...

Noah trying to get out of the picture. 

Clinic was held at a small private school - primary on ground level, High School on 2nd level.

Tired, just tired. 

Our group leader is trying to figure out a way to bring this little dog home with her (really).

We dispose of our sharps in the proper containers - a lot of improvisation happens around here. But, it makes us think differently to find solutions to problems we would never see in the US.

We go high-tone with our signs :)

A local treat: chicharrone - deep fried pork skin & fat with vinegar on it. There were very few of us who enjoyed this dish. 

All work & no play makes grumpy nurses so we were treated to a short beach excursion after clinic - Noah thinks he's keeping his scrubs dry.

Did I mention we were already damp?  No suit = swim in scrubs!

Jordan and Chantel rotating through "guard duty". 

Eric may be depressed, it's hard to tell though. 

Empanadas went over well. 

Don't ever complain the ambulance is too small because it could be worse!

These tree frogs sing for us each night. Lindsi seems a bit squeamish...

Lindsi, they're friendly frogs, but c'mon...
