Clinic Day Two and Eating C.R.A.P.

A different location for Gloria and me today.  Marchand School, only a 15-minute ride from Sandals.  A long story......very short, I did little work today.  Plenty of patients but the supplies and equipment were so sub-par, I was unable to work.
Half of our clinic.  During lunch break so no patients.  8 chairs and 8 fans, can't work without fans.
Our Oral Surgeon kept busy pulling teeth, I was the restorative dentist (fillings).  Bottom line, I waited over two hours for an essential piece of equipment to do fillings, once it arrived, and I started prepping teeth I quickly realized the material they had for me to fill the teeth was not creating a bond with the tooth and the fillings fell out immediately.  So, I was able to watch the wizardry of the Oral Surgeon taking teeth out very quickly, I learned some great techniques to use in the future.


Two things to look at here.  First, the electrical set up taped to a chalkboard.   You can see why we
routinely lose electricity in the afternoon.  Second the sign.  C.R.A.P. stands for, "don't eat Carbonated drinks, Refined sugar, Artificial foods, Processed foods.  I like that.   We sense the kids are reading this, but a good share of the adults are morbidly obese.

So, you ask, how is Sandals.  As I mentioned before, this Sandals is a 3-star.  Good, not great.  At $500 per night per couple, I would not recommend it.  Buffet breakfast is 3-star on a generous day.  The lunch they send out with us is 1-star and the same food for the last two days, but the dinners are 4+-start and very enjoyable.

Octopus for my appetizer.  Not a cross-section but the whole arm.  Not quite what I expected and pretty chewy. 

Dinner fare is an appetizer, main dish, and dessert plus free drinks.  They are really a highlight of our stay here.  Also, there are two sister Sandals resorts within shuttle distance, so you can go restaurant crawling if you want.

Glass outdoor fireplaces scattered about.  Nice to look at but not needed for warmth.

R and R Day Two, Life in the "80's" and Final Post

Another day to scuba dive, except this time the visibility was very poor!  Maybe 10-15 feet.  But, my plan was to work on close-up pictures...
