We had a great time today. This morning we visited the parliament but more importantly we visited the parliaments air conditioned library. I still have not figured out why all library's have to be air conditioned. Regardless, the 15 minutes we spent there were heavenly.
10 gallons of sweat later we had just finished our first after lunch class session and were preparing to head to Mahaica to visit our friends at the leprosy hospital. Our bug bites, which seem to have accumulated on every part of our body since our arrival, are nothing compared to the struggle faced daily by our friends at the hospital. Athough, that did not stop John and Chris from destroying us in dominoes. We also met another patient today named Mr. Fullington who had been previously recieving more serious care in another hospital. It is a relief that he is okay because Professor Kirby and him have known each other a long time. He shared some very interesting stories from his time in the interior today; informing us that raw iguana eggs do in fact taste like olives. I am still probably not going to try one.
Despite the relentless heat and the fact that Anthony's bugbites may be featured in the next National Geographic things are going well in Guyana. We are alive and I look forward to another day of Chubby's unforgiving driving.
Love,
John
