1/11/13 Day 8 Duck Run 2

So clinic today wasn’t anything too special. It took us a while to get there. The place was called Duck Run 2. Only had a couple interesting patients today, one had angina, another had hyperthyroid, and another was potentially pregnant. Apparently there was someone who was in hypertensive crisis, with a BP of 190/110 or something like that. They brought the person to the pharmacy and then the hospital. After the clinic we went swimming at the Cahal Pech Resort. The pool was amazing and the view was gorgeous. Tonight we’re going to a lecture from a politician and then going to the casino. It should be interesting. I’m hoping to not stay out too late because tomorrow we have to go and do manual labor, using machetes to clear a path or something like that for this botanical garden. Tomorrow night we have Punta lessons from the Punta King. That should be fun. It was really nice to be able to go swimming and just relax. I had a mai tai while we were there and it was really strong. I’m honestly ready for bed but I told Vicky and Dani that I would go out with everyone.
Also, it seems like ATM is most likely going to be closed because of all of the rain we’ve been getting so there’s talk about going to a zoo that’s on the way to Caye Caulker. I guess it’s one of the best zoos in the world and a trip to Belize isn’t complete without seeing it. I’m pretty excited for it. Two nights on Caye Caulker would be amazing.
Anyway time to relax a little bit before dinner. I’ll let you know how the Casino and politician are.














Pool party for Megan



A spider I saw behind a screen in my room. If that was actually in my room, I would have DIED!
