Monday we woke up early. This was the first of a week of early waking up, but it was totally worth it. At 6 AM the song of birds from all different kinds start mixing with the music of some seminary students that were practising marimba. It was an eclectic morning with breakfast at 7 AM. We had pancakes, eggs, fruits and coffee.
After that, we proceeded to load up the bus and hit the road for Totonicapan. It was a 3 hour trip into the Guatemalan mountains with nice scenery and curvy roads. We did a pit stop to but some chips and an hour later we arrived at our hotel.
The hotel was located in a valley 20 minutes from Chivarreto, the community where the clinics were going to be held. We had lunch and then went to Chivarreto to set up everything and get started.
The local pastor welcomed us and introduced us to the community. Then we start setting up the pharmacy, clinics, triage station, and eye treatment station. We left around 7 PM back to the hotel were we got dinner and proceed to check internet. Everybody was excited about having wifi at the hotel, and the first night was mainly using it.
