Sorting and An incredible view

This morning we worked at El Proyecto organizing medications. We thought it would be pretty simple, but it turned out to be a crazy and confusing task. A lot of the problems stemmed from the fact that we didn't really know what any of the medications did...
 

We spent a lot of time with a medical dictionary looking up Latin words (which were also in Spanish) in order to organize the medications into groups like "Cardiovascular," "Antihistamines," "Nutritional Supplements," etc. We learned a lot about different types of medicines!

















We were able to sort all of the meds today into bags...tomorrow we will put them on the shelves! Hana, Lindsay, and I all really enjoy organizing (at times, to a fault), so we actually had a good time today.







Since we only worked a half-day today, we decided to relax and watch a movie. In the markets, you can buy brand new movies for 10 Quetzals (which is equivalent to about $1.50). In fact, we're watching Silver Linings Playbook right now (which is still in theaters).



After relaxing a little bit, we walked around Antigua. It is amazing how many new places we found even after being here for two weeks! I'd heard a lot about this French restaurant called Tartines, so we decided to check out the terrace (which is known as the best terrace in Antigua). The views were incredible! You could see straight into the ruins that are in the center of Antigua.




Tomorrow we are doing some more sorting and on Wednesday morning we leave for Nueva Esperanza for three days!
