Oropesa: rural clinic

We went to the center of the city last night for some music and then all went out for dinner at a restaurant that donates some proceeds to a local kids shelter. The tres leches was so yummy!!! Then Kim and I went salsa dancing (if u want to call what i was doing salsa dancing). This morning we woke up early (830) to go take the ambulance to a clinic outside of cusco. It was such a wonderful place to visit. It was about an hour out of cusco but the clinic was so nice. Most of th patients had chronic conditions: an 18 yo with glioblastoma multiforme who was nearing the end of her life, an old woman with breast cancer w mets to the lung pleura and severe breathing problems, an older woman with end stage cervical cancer, several young men in their 20s who had been in accidents and were paraplegic, quadriplegic, and one also had brain damage. There were a couple melanomas, 1 man's had met'd to his brain. And also an older man with leprosy (Luckily he wanted me to take his pic). Anyways...have to wake up early for my 5 day trek to salkantay. I am hoping the hotel on the 4th nt has internet! I went on a debriefing tonight at llama path (not trek) and met this other woman from London who was volunteering in an orphanage for the past 3 months so We will be sharing a tent! So bed time!
