My second week in the British Virgin Islands just concluded, and I am still in awe about how beautiful this place is. This week we started clinical at the local hospital in Tortola, BVI. In just three days there, I learned so much from a variety of individuals with different backgrounds and multiple personalities. I am looking forward to the next few weeks to gain new experiences and to learn more. This week, we also took an all-day sail to the island, Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands. This island was absolutely gorgeous. The captain and his crew member talked about the history of the island and the background of its beauty and name. To get to the island, we needed to jump off the boat and swim. It was very funny to see everyone holding their personal belongings in the air as they swam to the island. It was a very fun day, and I can’t wait for more excursion days like this one.
