Day 13 8th Clinic Day.. What a day!

 Next to the last clinic day, and the busiest of our two weeks.  It started when we returned from breakfast and didn’t let up until we closed at 4:30.  When we broke for lunch we had four people who were waiting for our return.  A total of 23 patients today, with 19 extractions and 4 fillings.

After a pretty exhausting day, William asked if we wanted to to go Monday Market at a local village, of course!  

This is a 'dry market', not a lot of food, mostly Kenyan Walmart stuff.  And, goats.

This is how you choose clothes.

Our big surprise of the day was dinner.  We went over at 7:30 as usual and found that our table had not been set for us.  Very unusual.  While gazing about, this tall man came up to us and introduced himself Sulu, as a member of the Board of Directors for Siena Springs Resort and dinner was going to be served poolside.

Sulu, Mimi a senior high school student from Nantucket, me, Gloria and Sarah,
 from Berkeley.

All the ladies got new names.  Mimi was named happiness, Sarah, blessed,
and Gloria was named riches........  The 'namer' was Samooi, our night watch-guard.
Quite a ritual, lots of dancing, singing and noise.  Quite memorable.

Long story short, he was at the resort because of a friend or ?? and he was hosting her and her niece.  We had met them earlier in the day. We all sat together for dinner, he bought the table a bottle of wine, and we proceeded to hear a bit more about Siena Springs and their plans for the future.

Quite a gentleman, he is Ugandan by heritage, but a world traveler.  They have great plans, we hope they succeed.  

 Most entertaining with the singing, hopping and dancing.
