Lots of pictures

This is Monica and Josse. Monica was visiting her school for the day She had to wear a uniform. It is common to have to wear uniforms here. It looks like almost every job has a uniform.
This is another basket house. Notice the electric meter!
Then on the same street they are building this huge beautiful building.
This house is made out of bamboo.
Just sites along the road
This is the " front yard" They have porches, not really yards. The clothes on the line is in almost every yard.
This is a peddle cabs. They are very common form of transportation. It cost about 6 pesos or 12 cents and they have to work pretty hard to peddle a couple people.
this is a house made like a basket. There are no windows. But the whole house is a big basket. The roof is tin. the basket house is pretty common. sometimes they have stores made out of the basket weave and they varnish it. I wonder how long it holds up.
just some sites on the way to the store.
This is placenta soap. I couldn't believe it. I was looking at papaya soap and the lady picked this up and said here is placenta soap, it's good for you. How gross!

the picture below I took for you Rick, It's a fender amp I think.
didn't you work for Fender company? The price is on the picture below. the price for the Fender is 58950 pesos. Each 1000 pesos is about $20 American dollars. About $1200 I think.




this one is a pillow fight the interns were having with Monica. The top picture is the prenatal room. We do approximately 50-60 prenatal 5 days a week. Monday is intakes and include pap smears and taking history's. Of course we don't take history because although we were told most people speak English it is not true. Most people speak a little English, but the communication is defiantly a problem.

the next picture is there neat dish drainers. I thought they were more practical then ours.

    Do those dish drainers fold up? That would be nice for you to have at home!
