Another long Monday, but a good day. And, it rained last night--finally! hooray. It is so loud when it rains hard--it kept me awake, along with my needed to go pee...
It was a slow day at Centro de Salud, but at the one moment when someone actually showed up with a prescription to be filled, Prairie wasn't in the room, and I was expected to do it! I felt so helpless--I couldn't read the doctor's handwriting to know what the medicines or dosage instructions were, I didn't know where to find them on the shelf, and I couldn't rip the tape to make the labels. Sigh. But I survived.
After getting our mail, we went to visit Gloria, a good friend of Prairie and Beth's. She fed us grapefruit! What a treat! We don't get much of that around here. And then she gave us lunch. I wasn't very interested in the "sopa de pato" (chicken-foot soup), so I had mostly broth with vegetables. Prairie gave me one of her chicken toes to try...it was enough.
On the way home, we walked with a family--a father (Francisco) and three older children--who live about 2 hours farther down the road to La Fortuna from us.
