We set up clinic at the church on the campground in Cofradia. There is a nursing home located right next to the camp and we got to treat a lot of the nursing home residents. It was an easy short day. We only saw about 59 patients. We normally have clinic till 3 but we ended up only going to noon because we had plans to go to town.

We took the bus to La fundacion de parques nacionales te da la mas, which is a tourist spot. It is located high up in the mountains with great views and a giant statute of Jesus. It was kind of nasty weather but everyone just pulled out their ponchos and umbrellas and had fun nonetheless.

We went to downtown Tegucigalpa to go to the supermarket. Everyone wanted to get vanilla extract and coffee to bring home. We headed back to camp after that for dinner, which was pasta and a type of gumbo. They have been feeding us wonderfully here and the food is delicious!
The guys took Jeremiah and me out frog hunting and exploring the woods to entertain us. After the frog hunting we decided to build a small fire on the soccer (futball) field. We went and picked fresh corn off the stalk and cooked it on the campfire. After it cooked we put butter and cheese on it and ate it. It was amazing!! The Hondurans called the corn Elote loco, which means crazy corn.

Corn!
It was a great day and I cannot wait to see what tomorrow brings!
