have spent a relaxing weekend on the ship, so
no new adventures to report. on wednesday i will start my new job as a surgical assistant...i'm really looking forward to it but also will miss being out in the community every day.
at right is a mother we saw in clinic last week. all the ghanaian mothers carry their babies on their backs like this...so cute! still haven't figured out how they keep the babies from falling out the bottom.
below is a typical lunch at clinic...every morning we bring a cooler that the galley stocks with raw meat, rice and vegetable oil. lucy (a local girl) picks it up and takes it to her home where she makes our lunch, then brings the hot
dishes back to the clinic at noon for us
to eat. (we also give her money to buy vegetables, plantains, etc to add). there are three or four different dishes she makes, usually rice, meat and a spicy sauce. the food is wonderful...something i will really miss when i start working on the ship this week!
