airport again

Once again we are in the airport, waiting for our flight to Cochabomba. We had a very eventful day yesterday at two of the clinics. In the morning we went to. La Clinica Cruz Rojo which is the red cross clinic we met a nurse named Emi and later told her in vry broken spanish that we had a cousin named Emmy they are both pronounced the same but spellrd differently. Today we were going house to house to give gripe shots or flu shots to anyone over seventy and anyone over 18 and had high or low pressure and other medical complications. We got an array of reactions mostly just curiosity about why three gringos and a nurse were at there door. We heard one boy yell to his mother "mama los gringos" which means mom its white people. We ended up giving twenty vaccines which was a very good morning accordong to our new friend. In the afternoon we went to the smallest clinic and did almost the same thing howeder this time we had specific paypents and were out in the country. We were govong vaccines for the flu and polio to infants. As we were walking we met many young boys hearding there cows along the road and also saw a variety of animals. So in turn a very succesful day in our eyes and just a taste of the things we hope to do while we are down here. Thee are many more comical events that happened that day whoch I will cover when I am on a computer and not a phone. More later.
