Good morning!

One of the cool things about this house is that it comes equipped with about 3 of its own chickens that Margaret uses for our breakfast eggs...On the downside, they tend to crow at 4 in the morning!

Me and 3 other people went for a jog this morning, and I observed a few things:
-Everyone here is dressed very nicely, and it is not uncommon for students to be wearing long sleeves and long pants despite the heat. (Though men don't wear shorts it seems either).
-There are MASSIVE birds here. They look like a cross between a stork and a pelican and a pterodactyl. Yesterday I took pictures of them because I thought they were so interesting, and then someone pointed out that it was probably similar to tourists in Wisconsin taking pictures of squirrels and evergreen trees haha.
-The sunrises here are beautiful! (Mom, you would love them!) The colors are so bright and it looks pretty between all the palm trees

Anyways, today is the first day of going to the hospital! It sounds like it will mostly be an orientation day, but I am still pretty excited. It's going to be interesting to see the differences between hospital settings here vs. America. Today we are getting a ride there but most days we will be making the 1 mile-ish walk to work on foot.

Hope all you other PT'ers have a good first day of clinical!
(by the way, Dallas White says hi, especially to you Dani!)
