Saturday we went back to the same beach as last weekend. We picked up Subway sandwiches to eat on the beach. Our lunch was interrupted by a brief rain shower. It was odd to be sitting on the beach eating a sandwich with rain coming down. It only lasted a couple of minutes and then the sun was out for the rest of the day.

This is two of the teachers, Judy (left) and Elizabeth, relaxing on the beach after lunch. Judy has been teaching at the school for about four years and is from New Zealand. Elizabeth is new to the school from New Jersey.

Jim made friends with this fisherman. I guess fishermen have an international language, and I would imagine they believe each other's fish stories.

As you may recall, we had to drive thru a couple of large puddles to get to the beach.

So much for all the work Edwin and I did cleaning up the van on Friday.

Sadly, Judy's weekend didn't end up as nicely as it started. Judy fell down several stairs leading to her apartment and ended up spending Saturday night in the ER room. Result: two cracked bones - one in the wrist and one in the elbow.

Monday morning I drove Judy to the local hospital to find an orthopedic doctor. Fortunately, the uniformed security guard at the front door spoke English and directed us to an adjacent building where we eventually found an orthopedic doctor. Even better, there was a nurse in the office who spoke English and helped Judy fill out the medical forms which were printed in Spanish.

In two hours Judy was fit with a pretty blue cast. The hardest part of the procedure was removing her wedding ring, which the ER doctor should have removed.
