sooooo my whole thing of being a medic was rather entertaining. I didnt have too much to work with, but i had some anticeptic concentrate, gentian violet, bandages and heat spray. The first match was a bunch of kids, they were pretty funny to watch since most of them are so gangly that theres no real muscle behind their charges etc. At the end though, ALL of the kids came up to me ( once they found out an obroni girl was doing the treatment) and wanted some attention. Some of them even made there own scratches to have need for treatment. some of the older ones, prolly around 13-14 years old, decided that they should marry me..... jajajajaja

Next were the women, and they were the scariest to watch because they were viscious! but no injuries there thank heavens.

Finally the men who were equally as violent as teh women, but it was less shocking for some reason to see men behave like htat. Luckily for me the men tried to be really tough so the only person i treated was a mand who had his elbow squached ( not broken thank goodness)) and had some severe bruising.

All in all nothing major happened, but im even firmer in my need to take 1st aid now... i seem to need it a lot!

Hi Marla, I am sooooo enjoying your adventures, look forward to new pictures. Especially flying thru the jungle with the monkeys and the castles. What a wonderful experience you are having. Personally, I'd not be quite as enthusiastic as you are about the lack of water. The heat I could take, no water, no no no. Stay safe, we'll see you soon. By the time you return the heat will be a distant memory! Love to you, A. Michele
