Tonight we had our 4th of July fireworks. Just 10 days late...no biggy. My roommate said that they happened in perfect Ecuadorian time. :) Someone was shooting off some amazing fireworks, or if you translate the Spanish literally, some amazing artificial fire.
Things at work are about the same. I'm working on a different account while correcting entries are made on the one I started on. I'm getting to be pretty good at account reconciliations with all this practice they are giving me!
One of the interns has been sick on and off throughout the trip. She was in a lot of pain yesterday and she and her family decided that it would be best for her to go home. She is a great girl and she will be missed a ton! We're having a pancake breakfast at 3 in the morning for her farewell meal. Yes, I know, 3 in the morning sounds like a crazy time...and it is. But, half of the group is watching the premier of Harry Potter and will just be getting home and her flight leaves soon after that. It might take a little bit to get out of bed, but she's worth it.
Tomorrow morning, at a more decent hour, we leave for Papallacta for a spiritual retreat. There are hot springs and trails to hike on. People say it's beautiful there...I'm excited to find out! After Papallacta we are going on to Shell and will spend a week there. Two other non-medical interns and myself will be painting as well as keeping an open mind for anything else that might need to be done. The warmer weather will be gladly welcomed. Cool, rainy days this week in Quito that require long sleeve shirts just doesn't make it feel like summer.
I'll try to keep you updated while I'm out of Quito, but the internet might not be as dependable there.
I hope you're enjoying your summers and your 4th, or 14ths, of July. :)
