Agua Escondida y San Andres

Agua Escondida is so beautiful!! 
We went up and up and up in the farm truck to a cute town with great views of the lake in its valley and whatever else lies on the other side. It was still pretty hazy from all the open fires that everyone cooks on.
Cute little first patients of the day and their aunt. 
This little guy's name is Andy!!!!!!!! (So is the big guy's)
 Nice building. Nice people.
Stopped for a photo op on the way home. Sarah got on top of a rest stop to snap this one.
 This is the view up the skinny street to the hospital each morning. We load the truck with our supplies and head out to a community. This was the first/best we saw the volcano. Pretty cool. 
San Andres was destroyed by a mudslide 3 years ago. The survivors were given land and a new San Andres was built in a new place. They all converse with each other in their native language of Ketchaqual or something like that.
 San Andres was packed! We saw like 50 patients with maybe a 20 minute break to eat lunch. It was awesome.
 Sorry, Sarah! I had to. Just imagine a doobie instead of the roll and the bottle having something else.
 Went for a run in the morning and made sure we passed a familiar site.
