Lights, Camera, Action.

After a full morning of emotions, news crews arrive along with the Governor of Santander. Many of the "Hands Across the Americas" staff were interviewed. The Diamond's as well as Giselle were among them. Giselle (here with Tom Crusse) was the nurse that made this mission a reality. She was born and raised in Bucaramunga, and knew the need for medical help in this area. Giselle put her heart and soul into the planning. Because of her passion, we all wanted to make it the best mission possible. She is truly an inspiration and a life long friend. Today's patient count was 190, it was a different scale of patient, but none the less rewarding.

We were back at "The Club" by 6:00 this evening, so I had time to swim some laps before dinner.

Tonight we went to an amazing restaurant that overlooked the city and had some of the best pizza I've ever eaten.




We were ferried home by a friend of Giselle's who just bought a brand new bus for his company. We enjoyed the comfort this luxury bus all the way home, so what if the plastic was still on the seats and the downhill was a little slippery. When we got back to our room we turned the TV on just in time to see Jose doing his thing at the Hospital that afternoon.
