It´s Raining

Yesterday for lunch we went to get pachamanga, which is this type of food that is cooked in a kind of underground oven. it´s mostly meat, and the others tried cuy - guinea pig. yuckkk! i just had potatoes, as usual.
This morning at the clinic, I shadowed a doctor who was doing general consultations - basically just physical exams for sick people who came in, children, adults, babies, everyone. She spoke really quickly and so did all the patients, so it was a lottt harder than Monday to understand what was going on. I did a lot of smiling and nodding and pretending I knew what was happening. It was really sad, there were four pregnant women who saw the doctor this morning - ages 15, 16, 20, and 24. So young :(
When the doctor needs to use gloves for the exam, the patient has to go out of the room and buy a pair of gloves for them. I dont know how much it costs, but that seems a bit extreme, when all kids get free vaccinations and such. Oh, instead of using carbon paper, they have this plastic carbon paperish thing that they put between two pieces of paper and when they write on the top paper, it goes through to the bottom paper too. good cheaper way of copying stuff, probably just very old fashion before today´s carbon paper existed.
Saw an ultrasound, an ob exam, a lot of people sick with fevers, bronchitis, etc. They were constantly precribing medicines and from what I could tell, each person got between two and four medicines! Mucho!
Washed my laundry in the sink after lunch and hung them on clotheslines on the roof. then when we were out with the kids, it started raining, so boom, now all my clothes are soaking wet. Lovely.
The kids were a lot of fun as usual. We split up the younger and the older ones and I took the little guys today, two boys, ages 4 and 5, Pedro (who we call Pedrito) and Luis (who we call Lucho). The older kids are working on leaving basic English, but Í just worked with the younger ones on Spanish things (yes, me teaching Spanish doesnt make much sense!)... but I got them to draw pictures of their families and write out everyones names. They werent into it at first but then got super excited and kept asking me, how do you write this, how do you write that? It was pouring so we didnt play outside games the second hour, just kept drawing with the little kids. Lucho got really really excited when I showed him how to do mazes and he kept saying I can do it, I can do it in Spanish, really cute!
There are also puppies that live in the room where we have the class. Well, its not really a room, it´s a covered area that goes out into a courtyard. The courtyard got flooded with water when it was raining so we held the two pups so they didn´t get soaking wet. they are really young, i dont know where their mom is, but they are adorable babies.
