Hump Day!

No camels here but goats everywhere ... Sometimes we need to stop on the roads to let them run away.  The roads are narrow and part dirt partly paved with lots of potholes.
We are staying in Treasure Beach, spread around in 5 different villas along the ocean.  The one I am staying in has a porch which extends out over the water and provides an awesome place to relax.
We travel each morning in 3 15-person vans over the bumpy bumpy road to the clinic in Hopewell in the Parrish of St. Elizabeth's .
The Jamaicans we are seeing are definitely in need of assistance and very  appreciative.  We are told that the average income is about $35 USD per week and the cost of eye or dental care is equivalent or higher than what it would cost in the states.


It cooled down a notch today and we were able to get back before sunset for a change.
