the weekend

Today is Sunday and the weekend is fairly quiet. We spend a lot of time taking a taxi to the grocery in town. the A la mode cafe is about a 15 minute walk from our compound and we walked here today after we walked to the ATM at the hospital. opposite directions. we can find some great veggies here. got beautiful eggplant \(haven't made it yet) tomatoes, onions, green tangerines, cucumbers, dried beans, fresh peas and bought mini bananas from mama who came to our door. we buy frozen chicken from a grocery in town and i made chicken w/ tomatoes, peas(yummy) and carrots w/ rice. also bought some jarred classico red sauce and have had american pasta a couple nights.
Everything Mark sees is complex and old as in they broke it a long time ago and it healed in that bad position. there are 90+ patients on the ortho ward and 2 main surgeons. don't get injured in a developing country. things move slowly there but the staff is nice.
not sure what we are doing MOnday. might hook up with the school again by the end of the week and finish the school building w/ a new visiting school. M & C may volunteer in occupational therapy.
