It is Wednesday 3/4 and I am taking a few minutes to write while we wait for the latecomers (it is 8:15 and we were supposed to get in the minibus at 8).
I am going to dump a few photos here and then write on the way in Notes app as cellular service in and out on the 45” drive and the WordPress app needs internet. Will post the writing later when I have good service.
Wednesday, blogging while riding in our mini bus to Guananico.
The bus ride is 45 minutes of winding roads up and down hills. The first 15 minutes is nice highway then 20 minutes of bumpy semi paved roads. My Garmin watch congratulates me for “stair climbing” every few minutes. Then the last 10 minutes is through the town of Guananico to the Municipal Hospital which is beautiful, newly renovated and very air conditioned. Our van has 15 seats but the first few days we had more people and they had cushions they put on the aisle floor.
Trip has been great so far,nice coworkers, friendly hotel staff and lots of Canadians at our hotel because they can’t safely go to Cuba or USA anymore. I hear French a lot and there are 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦Flags on a lot of balconies.
Will write more after mission is done (I have 5 R and R days after at a different beach front resort 5 miles south).
At Hospital now (9:30) seems like we will have one tubal ligation patient and one for a hysterectomy.
Will do spinals for both and hopefully tap blocks at end for post op pain control.
