Guatemala day 7

Last day of clinics! 

Today we all got to travel together to San Lucas, a town of roughly 8,000 people, our biggest so far. With having our teams combined we were able to see roughly 105 patients our personal record for the trip. Our clinic today was set up at the local LDS church which was by far the nicest place we have had so far. The bathrooms especially were a sight for sore eyes, looking just like the ones back home, minus being able to flush the toilet paper. That's right no flushing toilet paper here in Guatemala, instead you are provided with a handy little bin. Another plus of this site was having wifi! I'd be lying if I said a few of us didn't sneak online for a few minutes to see what was going on in the world.   Apparently some big legislative changes occurred while we were gone.  It was also our pharmacist Peter's birthday today. Feliz Cumpleanos anos Peter! So we grabbed a chocolate silk cake from the local shop to celebrate his 29th birthday. Wrapping up our day we headed back to the vans and called it a night. Tomorrow we get to travel to Lake Atitlan and do some sight seeing. It's been an exciting week!
