I've now finished my 3rd day in the clinic, and it's going a LOT better than it did the first day. I feel like I'm understanding a lot more of the language and the processes/system.
Sara (my comrade from Switzerland) & I are acclimating a lot better now. We can navigate the town (by foot or taxi), are discovering the good restaurants, and can swat at mosquitoes without wincing.
The health care system of Mexico is quite different from the U.S. Everyone in Mexico is guaranteed at least some form of health care, and they have to come to the clinic at least once every 6 months being a health adult. You come every month if you are a child, are pregnant, or have diabetes!!!

| A "Health Center" for the Town of Bajos de Chila |
 |
| A few supplies |
 |
| The delivery bed |
 |
| The sign translates to "The baby should be placed on this table after delivery." |
 |
| The IV room |
 |
| The Pharmacy in the Clinic |
But of course, no day is complete without watching the sun set at the beach...

| Unfortunately, I didn't have time to run home to get my sandals after clinic. |
