In total, the team saw 573 people. This is with only ONE doctor. I think that is pretty good in anyone's book. Three of the clinics required us to travel 2 and one half hours away each day (one way). Since we do not travel in the dark, we took advantage of ALL the daylight hours. We were on the road early and got back just in time for the sunset. The last day, one team member started throwing up. Lucky for her, she was not flying home right away. She and three others had decided to stay another 4 days and travel to Copan. So two of the team members went ahead and toured San Pedro Sula while she and her mom stayed back at the campground and rested. By the time the others had returned from their sight seeing, she was good enough to travel to Copan. The team members flew out at three different times so that meant three trips to the airport. Not a big deal since the airport isn't that far from the campground.
The team did get to see the burning of sugar cane fields at night. The fields are always burned at night and then the workers come in first thing in the morning and cut them all down by hand. It was truly a spectacular sight to see. The pitch black sky and the glow of the fire was amazing. We could hear the crackling of the fire burning from our campground. These are HUGE fields so you can imagine how intense the fire was against the night sky.
We are back in Teguc right now getting ready for the next team from Ohio to arrive. we are excited as our son, Jeff, will be coming as well. It is his first trip out of the country so I am sure he will have some stories to tell.
Nothing out of the ordinary to tell. I know, pretty boring isn't it????
love to all
