Day 17: Thursday, July 15, 2010
Today we said goodbye to another team. After going to the market with them, I didn’t feel 100% today, my stomach was a little bit unsettled, so I rested most of the afternoon.
Sarah took me to get a pedicure which only cost S/. 10 -15 (like $3 -5 USD) for a crazy polka dotted design. It’s hard to describe how much better I felt after having clean and pretty feet…I feel like a girl again.
Now it’s past 11 pm and the dorm has been invaded by a new team from Puerto Rico that leaves for the river tomorrow. The instant influx of people kinda stresses me out…even more so this time because they mostly speak Spanish. Overwhelming!
Sarah, Becky, and I sat on the balcony for a bit this evening discussing the desperation of the Iquitos, especially concerning the children. There is much need here.
