I drove on the wrong side of the road sitting on the wrong side of the car today! I mentioned to Dr. Martin that at some point in the three months that I'm here, I wanted to try driving a right-sided driving car on the left-side of the roads. When I was walking out the doors from work Dr. Martin followed me out, threw me his keys, and said, "You might as well try it now, right?" I'll say it was quite the mind teaser, the drive selector was on the left side of the steering column, the rear view mirror was to my left, and even with the seat all the way back/down I felt like I was driving a mini-mini-van. I stuck to the back roads today, there's no way I have the skill/confidence to drive amongst the other crazy drivers, boda-bodas (motorcyclists), or random oblivious pedestrians. The only problem with the back roads is they are.. well.. let's say.. rugged. I'm sure there were a few instances where one or even two of the tires came completely off the ground. Dr. Martin said I drove the roads like I had done it before, I told him the closest thing I've had to driving these types of roads is in a golf cart on dirt roads in Michigan.. and they are nothing alike.

Another first today, I was able to help and observe the nurse as she gave out immunizations. While most of what I did was observation, it was all in the intention that I will be able to do it in time. For now, my responsibilities were weighing the babies, giving a polio vaccination (two drops from a glorified eye dropper on the tongue), and documenting all the info and vaccines administered. On a side note: the first person I have ever administered any type of drug/medicine/vaccination is a 3 month old named Duncan, quite a proud moment for myself.

I also saw myself on TV tonight. Gaba Community Church puts their sunday service on one of the many christian TV channels here. It was very easy to pick myself out of the crowd. The group from the US arrives here tomorrow, I'm excited to meet them and begin seeing more of this beautiful place.
