Just Another Vietnamese Sunrise….

For some reason, the Eagles “Tequila Sunrise” came to mind when I awoke at 5 AM to this:

Supposed to be getting ready for clinic, but could literally not leave the window.

Today was the first day in clinic, and it was actually by far the nicest clinic I have ever worked in on a trip. There were ceiling fans, which was a huge luxury.  We also had a cadre of translators with great English and were a lot of fun to work with. Ours are pictured below:

Most common complaints: back pain and knee pain (when one works harvesting rice all day, this is a legitimate complaint). Blurry vision. Dizzy (see comment about harvesting rice in 95 deg heat).

Clinic only slowed a little when the Monsoon (quite literally) hit. We were still able to see a few more patients, then packed up, but not before taking some more pics. The mountains surrounded by clouds are beautiful after a rain. Trust me, this does not do the landscape justice at all!
