Wednesday

We saw our last few patients today and then completed an inventory. We have one large bin for our supplies, but will have to repack them tomorrow as the lid cannot possibly close. We had a couple of hours to shop this afternoon. Luckily we now have an empty Medicos en Accion hockey bag to take back to Ottawa. We will fill it with beautiful Guatemalan textiles. After shopping, we visited with Maureen and Ann at their hotel before going to Hector's restaurant for an early dinner.

Lydia just called us to the kitchen to see an ant parade. Someone left their peanut butter knife on the counter.

Lavinia, our wonderful translator is leaving at 4:00 in the morning to take a bus to her parents home in Mexico. Lisa, Lydia and Maureen are heading to Guatemala City in the morning to see the enterprise happening at the dump and nearby schools. (I did this excursion last year.)

Our time in this beautiful city is coming to a close.
