i´ve got four minutes left and this computer is slow....

i was picked up yesterday by a young female doctor that i´m living with. on the way to our apartment they drove me out onto the beach which was beautiful. my house is in a somewhat urbanish area. not tall buildings or clifton, etc, but lots of buildings and motorcycles. the mix of housing is interesting. there´s no running water here. many people have plastic tanks for water on their roofs. the doctor speaks and understands very little english and me very little spanish. we sit around talking with our dictionaries. this afternoon we´re headed to the university and tomorrow to meet a patient in a neighboring area.

there are so many different things to get used to. i find myself enjoying all of this but missing the ability to communicate clearly with someone. i´m running out of time.....more later
