sick

It is very easy to get sick here, Peruvians have tougher stomachs then us gringos (gringos is a term they use for foregin, white people. It isn´t a bad world like it is in the US). I thought I was being safe with washing my hands a lot and not touching or buying stuff off the streets. But I got sick Thursday. I was throwing up and some other not so fun stuff. I went to the doctor and was told I had an infection and a parasite! What fun huh? but all is ok. I felt like crap Thursday, but things are feeling better now. I can now eat food!They gave me a lot of medication and this really disgusting electrolite drink. I think that was by far the worse drink I´ve ever had! My host mom was really worried and make sure I took my medication. My muscles were so achy and she rubbed them for me and put a hot cloth on it. It felt so good and I was so thankful. I unfortunatly didn´t know how to thank her enough for everything she did. But I know she wanted to help. I´ll make sure to give the family a big going away present! ha ha

but no need to worry, all is ok, or wil be very soon. I miss everyone and some of the holidays the U.S. has coming up, but I am looking forward to Dia de los Muertos and other holidays Peru has coming up. chao for now!
