Day 1 of week 2 work -- we had to unload the bags of cement from the truck...50kg bags
(remember 2.2 lbs is 1 kg!!)
We visited this man during medical screenings - he has arthritis, works selling plantains and was having a lot of pain. We gave him a bottle of advil to get some releif
I had to learn humility today....the man above paid for his Advil with these plantains....I told the clinic nurse, Lilliana, that we would pay the man for them....I was corrected - that was his payment!
It shows that everyone has something to give!!
Plantains are usually cooked -- but we tried them raw - they were great! it tasted like a really green banana. The locals were shocked they think plantains are disgusting raw - but we loved them!!
It's Rags again, looks like ya'll are having a wonderful time, wish I coulda helped with those bags (: Hope ya'll have a wonderful rest of the trip, see ya when you get back.
