Monday we will leave for Tlapa for 5 days. Tlapa is a rural community to the south of Mexico City, about a 7 hour drive on a winding country road. Apparently the temperature reaches the 40s C during the day. The whole point of the trip is to learn about Mexico manages health care delivery to the poorest of communities, but just like most other things on this trip, the program hasn't really elaborated on what exactly we are doing. They did, however, hold an info session for us, during which they outlined their main concerns in order of importance:
1) don't go out at night
2) beware of the scorpions
3) don't drink the water
Of course, I got a huge kick out of hearing "¡Cuidanse los escorpios!" but I guess there have been problems and close calls in the past. It is the rainy season, after all, and even arthropods have to drink/bail out of flooded burrows.
