One thing I forgot last night was the shooting stat that 3 of us happen to see on the boat ride home. It's rare to see a shooting star, but for three of us to see the same one without talking about it was awesome.
Ran and worked out this morning. For the first half of today our group did a final team building ropes course. It was a great time and also very challenging. Lunch was meat in a great spicy marinate.
The final day of clinic was fun but also sad. We went to the hospital and treated just in the outpatient part of the clinic. We had mainly follow ups from yesterday. The students went right into treatment and had a great flow. First years were even practicing skills for the spine and already getting some of the key concepts down.
We tried to emphasize teaching as this is the last time we get to work with the therapists so we tried to share a lot of knowledge.
We are already planning to make a document and videos as tools for the therapists to have. They were so excited about the education they asked for any old books, communication, and education in the future. It felt great to know that they enjoyed what we could bring to the table and provide for them.
The goodbyes were sad but also great knowing that we will continue to leave an impact long past our stay.
Here is our view of Puerto Barrios as we made the trip back to El Faro.
When we got off the boat the team celebrated jumping into the water fully dressed in our scrubs.
Before dinner a group of 30 woman from the village came and sold handmade jewelry, bags, and artwork.
The detail of the pieces was beautiful and seeing the ladies with the work was just as great.
Some self reflection, reading, and treatment of one of the staff members was a great finish to the day.
Ready for our travel day tomorrow
