Day 10 Guate and then to Monterrico

Today Mike left really early to catch his flight with the dentistas. We had a fun night the night before, having some drinks and dinner at the hotel and swimming.

Today at the church, Zora, Anne and I did see and treat for four women. They were all sophisticated- they all had had paps before, and knew a lot about planificacion and cervical cancer- one of them had actually taken a class on see and treat!

See and treat is where you look at the cervix with acetic acid, and if you see a lesion, you can freeze it (cryotherapy).

After lunch we headed to Monterrico in two large vans. It rained the whole way there, including on our ferry ride (when the whole van is put on a floating raft thing with a motor). Our van was in pretty good spirits- listening to Shakira and the rain.
