Day 34: Culture & Clinic...

This weekend was actually pretty low key, which was really nice! On Saturday, a few of us decided to go to the annual artisan festival called "Artisanat en Fete" - basically "Craft Celebration". It was really amazing to see some of the artwork and sculptures that people brought to sell. There were over 100 vendors all selling different things, from paintings and sculptures to jewelry and food. It was really fun to haggle prices and watch people get into "arguments" about the lowest price. Here are some of the quick pictures I took...

Clinic has been pretty steady, which I'm really enjoying. This has been such a challenging and eye-opening experience as a new therapist - I can't believe I only have 3 weeks left here! It'll be really difficult to transition back home to the American model of therapy. Here are some pictures of the clinic after we re-arranged...
