This is a special shout out to Colleen who posted on my last blog. Before leaving, she informed me of her own experience in Mexico where a parasite attacked her bowels leaving her family with no running water for a day...due to excessive flushing. Thanks lady for your insights.
I went to have my feces examined yesterday. I finally brokedown. It was a complicated process of sticking a plastic cup (thanks Corinne for the purchase) under my butt and waiting. Fun. I dropped off the cup to a clinic, waited 10 minutes and found out that I have an infection in my white blood cells = virus, in which there are no medicines and no antibiotics that can cure me. :(
Went to Marta´s house last night for typical Guatemalan food. Marta is a maestra at Celas Maya (Corinne´s first teacher). It was so good!!!! We had rice and green beans and a sauce of some sort. We´re cooking them Italian next time. mmmm.
The keychains for the kiddos at the school was a BIG hit. We couldn´t even pry them away to have bread and lemondade when the time came. It was nuts! Today: jewelry.
I am now drinking pina colada flavored drink shit that is supposed to help with my virus. It is a delicated powder that swims in my 1.5 ltr. bottle of water. I hate it.
My host mom sort of officially reached annoying (just a bit) this morning when she tried to convince me (and wouldn´t let up) that Coca Cola and water are the best medicines for a virus. She, apprently, swears by it. I wasn´t buying it, nor did I care at 7:25 in the morning.
Corinne and I are considering a cheap bus trip to the beach this Sunday. Stay tuned for details.
I have come to enjoy very much papas fritas in Guatemala. Something about the way they make it is amazing. ...and cheap.
I traded 3 books today for 2: City of God and Just Peachy. One is absolutely absurd fiction and the other is amazing realistic fiction.
I love my Guatemalan...feces-free (whenever that happens)...life.
