some snapshots

 I thought it was time I posted some snapshots of my life here...things are going much better. I have made friends with two medical students from Denmark who have been here for 9 weeks so far. They are very friendly and have been generous to show me around and let me spend time with them. Yesterday we went on a 3 hour hike outside of Maua. It was long and hot and hilly but beautiful. Today we went to church, went into town to a cafe, did some yoga and read in the sunshine. It has been a wonderful weekend. I'm looking forward to a community outreach tomorrow and spending some time in the wards this week. Miss you all...xoxo

The gates to the hospital. I live within the hospital grounds.

The sitting room in my flat.

This is my bathroom, squatty potty and a lukewarm shower.
