During supper at clinic yesterday one of our Thai team members told us to look in the faces of the chickens wandering around and remember their faces because by tomorrow they would be lunch. So here is our pharmacist Bob holding up a once familiar face . . . Today was our seventh clinic. We have now seen over 500 people. The old lady in this picture with Steph (a missionary from North Carolina) and I couldn't stop smiling. She thought we were so beautiful she said that she wanted to look at us all day. We gave her a team photo and she was so delighted she started to leave without her medication. Today was the coolest day, in the high 20s (Celsius) I would guess. We finished clinic just after lunch and headed back to the hotel for our first bit of FREE TIME!!!! Yipee!! I had a Thai massage in my room while my roommate Shelly laughed hysterically as my body was contorted into various forms. I will admit the massage was painful at times and I did have to cry "uncle" more than once. My back feels pretty good right now though. For supper we headed to the market and ate at the local stalls. I got some delicious som tam and sticky rice. We brought our food back to the hotel to eat together. The computer is a hot commodity right now so I will have to write more later . . .
P.S. HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY TO MY SWEET GIRL! I love you and can't wait to see my NINE YEAR OLD GIRL! I love you too Anson. I love you Tananya and of course I love you bunches Jess. I did think of you while eating my mangoes and sticky rice.
