Today I arrived in Chulucanas after a 14 hour bus ride to Piura and several hours shopping for a bed that I have to take back tomorrow. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is a bit different than Lima. First and foremost there is a lot more green. There still isn't grass, which confuses me a bit, but there are trees and bushes. The main street of Chulucanas is lined with them and it is a welcome site after the dull gray of the capital city. The house that IIN is renting is being renovated at the moment. Everything seems sort of temporary. Including the PVC piping in the shower (with no curtain) and the van seats that serve as a couch. I haven't seen any mosquitoes yet but I'm wearing insect repellent anyway, I'm not sure I'll be used to that smell even after 2 1/2 months. Tomorrow I am going to see a bit of the field work that the doctor from IIN is doing and possibly meeting with some Ministry of Health folks to see their data. It will be nice to get started on something that I know I am going to be doing for the next couple of months.
