Before leaving Leon we joined a procession to the Cemetario for Dia de Difuntos (day to honor the departed). The families sweep the gravesites and plant flowers and sit in quiet communion with their dparted. deeply sweet.
Stopped at a Botanical Garden near Esteli for lunch (near the killing fields in the mtns in the war between the Sandinistas and the Contras...finally arriving in Jalapa...a small and basic pueblo where we will do a training at the Pulic Health Clinic (such as it is) tomorrow...there is zero-not one OB-Gyn in this village but we will hopefully train a nurse-midwife in our procedure for detecting HPV lesions
Now for a cold shower...and hopefully sleep...without mosquitos molesting us!
Cheers, Mai
