The plan for the day was to go to the University to listen
to a talk given by Dr. Rust. Unfortunately there were protests going on at the
University by the students and all the doors were locked. So the location was
moved to Victor’s institute, a couple blocks from the hotel. The purpose of the
talk was for training the local hospital technicians in optimizing the use and
care of instruments in the hospital to make them last longer.
After the presentation we went to lunch with some of the technicians at a nearby restaurant. Then we went to the cemetery and explored for an hour or so. The cemetery was different than the ones we have in the United States. In Guatemala they were ornately designed and colored; they treat death as more of a celebration. After the cemetery we went back to the hotel for a while then some of us walked over to the local mall for some souvenir shopping. After that we all walked to a local restaurant for dinner. We ate on the roof of the restaurant and tried to enjoy the great view before it started raining and then took the fiesta inside. After dinner we went back to the hotel for some fun card games then got some sleep!
Adios!
