Today was quiet. Everyone left in the morning for Cusco except Jackie who stayed back with me to rest. I had breakfast at 8:30-9:30, then walked with Jackie to drop off the laundry downtown. Back at 10:30, I read then napped until like 1:30pm. Got up groggy, folded my stuff and cleaned the room, ate a banana with peanut butter, an orange, and a chocolate for lunch, with a little bread to wash and bench. Then we walked around the little town of Urubamba again, Jackie bought a cloth, and we came home, drank some matte, ate melons, and watched the sunset.
Last night was GREAT. On the way home from work, everyone was like, "do we have to meet tonight?" and I was like, "Yea... for pizzas and drinks and unwinding and talking not at all about the clinic" and everyone went "yay!" So we all went down to a pizza place for post-week 1 beers and pizzas relaxation and bonding. Everyone ordered 15 pizzas for 15 people and it wasnt even enough. There were at least 2 rounds of pisco sours (the local drink), and cervesas all around. It was great; so much good energy, everyone happy at the good work that week, high morale, feeling like we did something. We all laughed and told hilarious stories and got to know each other better. We toasted each other and ourselves and one week of incredible success at Clinica Lamay.
