Mobilize me: My week with Royce

Day 1) "Wow" I thought, I had just arrived and I had never been anywhere like this before. It was barren, except for the trees that were there were on the horizon and a few small huts nearby. I wanted to see everything there was to be seen but it was already late so she showed me my bed, a blanket on the ground. 

 Day 2)  She showed me the markets and introduced me to some of her friends and then we had lunch, a bowl of this oatmealy stuff. The food there was so different from what we eat. After lunch we played soccer with the village kids and an old semi-deflated ball. The kids beat us so badly but it was super fun. 

Day 3)  We went off to the market were there was a lot of small cute shops. I was surprised with how many people Royce knew. After lunch Royce had to go treat some patients, she had 5 patients and she rode her bike to all of their houses or hospitals. 


Day 4) When we woke up she had some early-in-the-morning patients and after that we went to meet her friends. A lot of them did not have bikes, but most of them had stores. 



Day 5) On my last day she visited one patient and them I packed up my stuff, said good bye and left.

Antonia, first of all, thanks for all your work on your blog. It is beautifully designed and laid out.

MY WEEK WITH ROYCE

This is a great introduction. Your descriptions and your dialog make it sound like you are there. With your "see you tomorrow..." I was already to hear your visit with Royce and I couldn't find it. I would love to have you finish your visit. I want to hear what you did. I want to see some photos . . . .
