Today we went to the San Ignacio market place to do health care testing. We took people's height, weight, heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar. It was really nice interacting with the people and testing them. They were all so excited about getting tested and we're happy we were there. It was such a rewarding and great experience. I was shocked to see how high some of the blood pressure and blood sugar levels were. I really hope they take the advice we gave them so they can live a healthier lifestyle. We also took breaks and walked around the market. There were so many interesting things to look at! After working with the health testing, we went to lunch. We went to a bubble tea place and I got a mango shush with a spice added because the worker said it was really good but it was disgusting! It was really spicy and it had a strange flavor. Since that failed, we went to a restaurant and I ordered a salad and carrot cake for desert. It was so delicious! After lunch we went back to the Log Cabinn and I got in the pool. It felt so nice after being outside for so long! After that, we went to another Mayan ruin. This wasn't as tall as the one yesterday but there were more ruins to look at. I got some cute pics too! I am having trouble posting pictures on my blog so I am trying to post them on Facebook. It's strange, the wifi is fine for watching tv and texting but is awful for blogging! After the ruins, we went back to Log Cabinn and I rested and watched tv before dinnerr. The food was really good for dinner. It was beef stew with mashed potatoes and salad. With dinner, there was fresh pineapple juice that was amazing! Tomorrow is going to be a long, hard, day. We will be building the road for an orphanage from about 8 to 5. We'll see how that goes.
