At 8 AM you and I are sitting on a wooden dock, it's sturdiness is indifferent to the water, the petite ripples cause a gentle lapping at the shore. This water is fresh, with only a trace of saltiness, and the clarity is exceptional. It feels as though we are totally alone here, the sounds are only of birds, the occasional howler monkey, and the water. This beautiful, far-reaching, circle of water is enclosed entirely by a high, mountainous ridge of green forest.

We made that bumpy drive down the mountain, into those dirt-packed, puddle filled, back streets of town, and pulled up outside of a cinder block, one story structure.  Within the next hour or two we managed to set up a make-shift anesthesia room, surgical room, recovery room, and a space to see pets for medical consultations. Great big luggage bags contained an abundance of the sorts of things we might need, along with limited amounts of those special items we needed to conserve.
