Well, we are alive and safe back at the Auberge. In the meantime, we overcame a few near death experiences throughout the way. ;) We traveled through Paco, and into downtown PAP. We pulled into the nursing school for a short time, and quickly were led back out, to meet our hosts for the day at the hospital. The day at the hospital was meaningful, and we got to play with a couple sick babies. Our hearts melt, yet again.
We met second year nursing students, and had the time to ask them all sorts of questions. They can't believe we chart on computers, and don't think it's fair that we spend the same amount of time in school, but don't have to write out everything. We took a look at their charts, and are pretty sure they have the better end of the deal.
Epidu was the lunch spot today, and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. They even had Blue Bunny ice cream! Sometimes the luxuries from home are just so comforting. We stopped back at the nursing school before trailing our way back to Carrefour.
AND THEN-- we had quite the trip back home. Lindsey got motion sick, and had to pull over in the middle of the city to puke. Then, while driving in a 15 passenger van with 20 of us on board, the back door opened, and the back seat reclined a bit too far for comfort. Everyone was startled, especially Jessie. She was a bit overwhelmed by this experience, but dodged that bullet by a hair. Much to our surprise, we had an extra passenger hanging out of our window while driving down the road. A little boy decided we looked nice enough to join, and hung on for quite some time until we got Robinson's attention to tell him to let go.
We did safely arrive at the hotel, and met up with group A. Just finished up dinner, and ready to hit the hay.
Cheers to an eventful day!
Cara, Lindsey, Jessie, Jill, Sarah
