The Last Few Days



Heading back home on Wednesday, but still going to blog.  Just thought I would post some pictures from the last few days that sum up a lot of my daily life here.  I am looking forward to being back home, being able to run outside without sweating my entire weight, being able to communicate with people, and drinking a descent cup of coffee.  But, the Philippines have been good to me.  Truly a beautiful country with many wonderful people.

There is a whole section in every store devoted to Milo, a "healthy energy drink" but pretty much just hot chocolate

A popular and free mode of transportation here, jumping on the back of someone else's car.

Amber playing the guitar for a patient.....and Kueya Felix.  He's pretty cool.

Outside the clinic

Kueya Felix, our guard, trying to escape the smells of the clinic with his nifty mask, a baby oxygen mask.  Labor and Delivery can get odoriferous for sure.... 

We transported a patient in this vehicle the other day with the I.V. bag sticking out the window and four midwives and a driver in the vehicle.  It was definatly a site to be seen.

Down time at the clinic.  It is so nice to be able to go outside at 10 PM and for it still to be beautiful weather.
