Went for a run this morning with Jason and Steph, followed by a yummy breakfast and spanish lessons. This afternoon when we went to the clinic, we practiced our spanish by being thrown into a room full of patients, nurses, and doctors, and had to talk about the prevention of diarrhea in spanish. It was quite the experience! We got a few laughs on our pronounciation needless to say. While working afterwards, I was able to complete a breast exam for a pregnant woman, witness a pap smear, getting blood taken for HIV tests, as well as take blood pressures. The nurse we work with is really making an effort to help us practice our spanish, as well as teach us techniques used frequently within the clinic. We had homemade enchiladas for dinner, and then went out for drinks at the bar called "friends". All in all it was a great day.
