Rainy day in Pescadaro
Sorry about the dearth of postings. I am having trouble getting the group login to work, and computer time is severely limited by the generator needing to be on.[
Yesterday a group of about 8 of us hiked several hours through Honduran rain along muddy slippery roads and trails to reach a distant village named Pescadaro.
We arrived totally drenched, with a mule, 2 horses, 3 backpacs of medications and supplies, and 8 chilly americans and 2 local guides.
We set up the "away clinic" in a school house on the edge of a muddy cliff...in just 18 months since I was there last, the edge of the schoolyard has fallen away into the red chasm below, and now a chain link and barbed wire fence blocks off the foot path the ends abruptly just beyond.
Because of the rain, we saw only about 10 patients, then trecked back the 5 miles or so in continued downpouring rain.
If anyone is able to look at a satellite map for the area for yesterday, please let us know how it looks from above!
Better get off they computer as there is a long line waiting.
We will be home this Saturday night, hopefully more updates before then.
