AMJG: October 2005
http://amjg.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
A year / - in Peru. Sunday, October 30, 2005. A mototaxi (a motorcycle converted into a taxi with some plastic and wood) carrying some people and some reed fishing boats along the beach, with a gorgeous dock in the background. A wall from the Huaca del Lun Moche ruins in Trujillo depicting a reed fishing boat. Fishing boats made of totora reeds. What did they use when they didn't have styrofoam as a flotation on the end? A friendly fisherman resting in the sun let's us play with his catch - cangrejos.

Tuesday, March 21, 2006. Thesis oral defense on Monday, 3/20. I successfully defended my thesis work, essentially the last six years of my life. It still hasn't quite hit me, although I am enjoying having people walk up to me and wish me congratulations. Still some writing to finish up, but I am getting ready to transition to my upcoming medical career. Posted by Gaijin @ 3:29 PM. Tuesday, March 07, 2006. The whole day through just an old sweet song keeps Thesis on my mind. Posted by Gaijin @ 11:56 PM.

AMJG: November 2005

A year / - in Peru. Wednesday, November 30, 2005. Busy Days. I've decided to call hospitals by the city zone rather than the actual health facility. Whether it is true or not, it makes me feel like I'm protecting confidentiality better since I'm talking about patients. Yesterday in El Augustino saw a case of. Advanced case scrofula (oozing lymph node TB) the likes of which I had not seen anything close to before- in an HIV positive prisoner. Posted by AMJG at 9:52 PM. Tuesday, November 29, 2005.

AMJG: December 2005

A year / - in Peru. Monday, December 19, 2005. Have burned myself with the C H tap confusion a few times, and keep trying to throw my toilet paper into garbage pails but otherwise have had an easy time stepping back onto US soil. What I missed most besides family and friends? In talking to my parents', godparents, and aunts and uncles among the first questions asked is, what are you eating? They all marvel at the 1-2 starch punch so common at every peruvian meal - the rice AND the potatoes. In the song a...
