This afternoon was a very pleasant afternoon.. I had various visitors some of whom are shown above. Five medical students from the City nearby came over to listen to some earbashing about culture and medicine.

In the Reservation, I feel I am part of the general community in that you know people of all ages and the little ones especially make special efforts to come over to say hello.

To explain to the medical students that a broader general knowledge is necessary to become a wholistic physician, i gave a short quiz to them. You might want to try it as well..
