Well here we sit at the Freeport airport and the only entertainment is Divorce Court... Lord, give us the strength! We are hoping to make the last flight out of Toronto tonight but it may not happen - cross your fingers for lots of no-show ticket holders...
We went to The Rand yesterday to say our goodbyes and were thrown a surprise farewell party by the maternity staff! It was very touching. They had bought both of us Bahamian gifts that were given to us along with a speech, and then we enjoyed sandwiches, cake and drinks that were supplied by the staff. The hospital photographer documented the event for the newsletter and the staff were very sweet by telling us what they had learned by our presence.
We spent our last day visiting the Lucayan National Park which we were told about when we first arrived on the island. Pity that we forgot that the high point of the park was the underground caves... we went to the other side of the park instead and enjoyed a mangrove walk and deserted beach for a couple of hours. Oh well, I guess we will have to come back to see the caves!
We feel privileged to have been able to come here to assist the women that we met. I feel so much more confident in my midwifery skills and we both are sure that the women we helped had a better birth experience because of our help. What we didn't expect was to make so many new friends :)
Thanks to all of our blog followers - it was really nice to know that you were all with us in spirit.
We'll be back. Yea mon.
