We stayed in El Morro, in one of the houses for the salt workers. We were comfortable and happy to have hot and cold water, a good shower, clean beds and a good sleep.

There were still plenty of procedures to be completed and we have the treatment plans for all the patients so the next dentist can work from there. We tried to be constructive and not destructive and did mostly composite work to help people's self esteem and shed a positive light on what we can do.
