Bonnygate

Today was our last clinic day, and I meet it both with relief and sadness. I'm exhausted, but it feels like the week was so very short. Today we saw near the record number that we saw earlier this week. I would assume that the administration and flow of the clinic has improved over time to allow for more patient visits. I was not as busy today as usual, perhaps due to the large number of children that came in. We were at Bonnygate today, and the weather was wonderful. It was really cool and breezy. What a blessed change. Also, the people made us a lunch of jerk chicken, peas and rice, and vegetables. It was great ... And really good for me because I'm nearly plumb out of food. I forgot to pack my gluten-free bread this week, and our lunch everyday is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. So, I've had a few hungry days! Several team members have been giving me food, which has been really sweet of them.

 Since it was our last work day, the group spent some time at the hotel's Jerk Stand / bar. It was good to relax with everyone. They've also got a fire burning down at the ocean, and the view of the stars from there is absolutely awe inspiring. I would like to have spent more time, but my 5:15 wake up to get up with the sun each morning has left me sleepy. Tomorrow is our off-day, which is the day that we get to be tourists. We're headed to Sommerset Falls near Port Antonio. It's slated to be a 2 hour drive east along the coast, which I'm sure will be beautiful. No one in our group has been there, so it will be an experience for us all!
