Clare and I started the morning out early doing laundry (much needed after the jungle) at 6:15 on the roof with freeezzingg water! So much worse than even playing golf in the snow...I have a new found appreciation for the wonderous washers and dryers and those who do this all the time, like all the kids at Rosario who do their own laundry outside in the mornings! This morning we went to Daniel Carrion hospital and did more men's surgery rounds. Same stuff pretty much, except I saw one guy who cut his hand bad with an ax, one alcoholic who was sleeping on the railroad tracks (which supposedly is pretty common here?! crazy) and when the train came he woke up jumped up and fell off, broke his femur and lots of ribs, one of which punctured his lungs, so he has all this blood draining out of his thoracic cavity. It was pretty crazy.

Next we went to Rosario Orphanage to measure all the kids heights and weights, which we will finish this afternoon with the other kids. Elena, our site coordinator, keeps track of this over time in order to help with their nutrition. It's so precious how EVERYONE here greets you with a kiss on the cheek, even when they first meet you. And now that the kids know us they always come running to us soo excited when we get there and throw big ole hugs and kisses on us yelling SENORIIITA, so adorable!

Tomorrow is my last day in the surgery rotations so hopefully I will be able to go watch a surgery, I lost paper rock scissors this morning, so 2 of the guys got to go :( This weekend, our plan is to just stay around Huancayo and go to the Sunday market where all the artesans from nearby villages bring in all their crafts. One of the med students we met, Pierra, a sweet girl, invited us to come with her to a big concert Friday night with lots of bands and salsa and Latin dancing! Oh and I made the mistake of telling Elena that my mom teaches yoga and that I have done yoga in the past so I am now in charge of teaching yoga to the Psych ward patients at EsSalud, the insurance hospital, tomorrow morning! Should be interesting...
