Now for an update! Jenny gets jungle fever
Thursday, March 6, 2008
Literally. Why has the photog not been out in the hunt for a good shot? I've been sicker than a dog! I'm pretty much over a horrible 48-hour jungle bug. At this point I feel okay but am trying to recover from dehydration. Thankfully our friends here helped with the girls so I could rest.
So we're back in action! Evie has a big bruise on her forehead from wiping out on these tile floors. Whew. Anna has a sunburn... but Chase is doing okay so far. They're doing EVERYTHING in Spanish - not just treating the patients, but rounding and charting and discussing the medicine... It's been a big challenge but he's already learning a lot.
I don't know why I'm surprised, but life is life. No matter where you go. I find myself doing pretty much the same things I do at home, except it's a whole lot harder because I don't have a car and don't know where to find things. And, of course, cooking with foreign ingredients is a challenge! Cereal is expensive because it's imported, so we're doing a lot of bread and cheese, and FRUIT! Yay!
I think the thing I'm struggling with most, aside from puking the last few days, is the BUGS. I have to sweep several times a day or we can sit and literally watch a stream of ants come in the front door. Evie chased after one and grabbed it - it was in her mouth in an instant! Luckly the house ants don't usually bite. We lucked out there. But we've killed a nasty caterpillar, several spiders, and there's currently a huge cricket-looking thing that neither Chase and I can get the courage to attack so it's on our bedroom wall. Keeping Evie out of trouble is always on my mind.
Photog wise, there are about 9 families that I'm going to shoot while here. That's a TON of work- for me, but it will be fun. I'm not used to working with the girls around, but there is plenty here to distract them! I'll probably start those next week when I'm fully recovered.
Chase is on call Friday night, so I'm not sure how much adventure-seeking we'll get to do this weekend. Shell is not very big, so we can at least wander around the village. There's a new park in the center with a large replica of Nate Saint's yellow plane! Anna loves it.
What else... It will take great effort to hang out with Ecuadorian women, but I'm going for it. Now that we've more or less figured out how to eat, we can learn how to share Jesus! :)
