Day 2: Church, Interpreters, and Hotel Montana

Today was another relaxing day to recoup from our flights and get ready for our Clinics and Care Giver School tomorrow. We woke up at 7:30 and had a great breakfast, then we all got ready for church. We all got into two vans and headed to an LDS church. When we first arrived there wasn't much space, but they saw us and graciously scooted over to fit all 16 of us. We all made friends after church and played with them for about an hour!





We then walked a couple blocks away from the church and went to a grocery store called "Giant". This is a typical store, about the size of most associated food stores. They had a great selection of food and dry goods. Everyone bought there good share of vanilla and some snacks! 

After that, we drove back to the Guest House and were able to meet our interpreters that will be helping us. We went over the three different types of interpretation and which one we prefer in the medical situation. It was great to be able to meet everyone and get to know them.

Next we took a drive up to Hotel Montana and had a great Haitian buffet and were able to watch the sunset with a fantastic view of the city and the ocean. It was great food and company and it was nice to be able to relax before the big day tomorrow.
