Time to shut down shop.

July 22/2010 Cusco, Peru

Today was the last day of the clinic. We took in 250 patients and then once they were all seen we started packing up. With the whole team working is only took us a few hours to pack up. I really should say pack down because what going up must come down. We had only around 18 50lbs hockey bags to carry down all those stairs and load into the van. On top of all of those hockey bags there were dozens of large boxes to carry out also. I believe I am now ready to hike Machu Picchu.

Tonight we went out for a team supper. It was the most amazing buffet that I have ever had. I even tried the lama and it was great, mostly the most tender meat I have ever eaten. I eat the most food I have eaten on this trip at this meal. I had two plates full and even had desert. Well we were eating there was a show on. There was a group that play some peruvian music and then a group that did some dancing. They the most colorful outfits on. At the end of the show they did a big group dance where they were pulling people out of the crowd. You guessed it I got pulled up on to the stage to join in with the dance. Its a good thing I have rythem because it was a little hard to catch on to their dance.

Tonight is also my last night with my roommate Jenna. I am really not looking forward to seeing her go. I have really enjoyed getting to know her and I think that we will be life long friends.
