Yo hablo espanol pero... no

Hola mis amigos y familia!

I am now called "Elena".

My mornings typically consist of shadowing a health professional at the Centro de Salud and taking Spanish lessons por la tarde. I rode on the back of a motorcycle without a helmet absolutely terrified because of the rain and muddy roads but saw the beautiful landscapes deep within the barrios and saw the destitution of the people there. I'm once again reminded that there are people who don't have what we need to survive.

Goal of this month: to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing at this health center!

More to come later!

Adios!
