We picked up at the team at 7:15am and headed to our clinic in Wichanzao. We had planned out our transportation to the clinic to the detail as there was a transportation strike. With the strikes come human blockades on the highway (our route to the clinic) and many people throw bottles and rocks at the vehicles. There are also very few taxis that run on these days. We left early and made it by taking a couple of back roads through neighborhoods where the highway was impassible by the blockades. It was exciting. We arrived and attended in the clinic in the same form as the day before. Lora worked reception, handling patient registration, patient flow, and the cash box. We saw many patients again Tuesday and closed the clinic around 1:30pm. We headed over to the church and enjoyed some wonderful Peruvian food together. We took the team out to Clementina, the developing shanty town by the clinic, and then out to the Huaca de La Luna, some incredible ancient ruins in Moche, just outside of Trujillo. It was a wonderful day!
