Health Clinic Tour Day

Our first stop on the tour was the "Contagious Diseases" Clinic to get our HIV test. We pulled up in our tour bus. Nurse Julie got us numbers so we were in cue.

When we got inside, they put us in a holding cell until they were ready for us. It was hot and stuffy. The screens in the back were listing numbers for clients to go up and get done whatever it was they needed to have done.

Then we saw a tour of the streets of Damascus Midday.....with all the taxis (notice that people drive anywhere and that there are NO markings on the road).

Here is Nurse Julie in the polka dot.

It was a looooong wait. We stayed almost 2.5 hours in this room! We didn't have enough seats for everyone, so some of us like Kat and Andrea sat on some steps. Andrea's body language pretty much sums up how we all felt; bored and trying not to whine.
