Bacterial Infection - Round One

Hello,

I just now am getting of a sickness my friends. A really shitty sickness, pun intended. I had a bacterial infection in my stomach. I started feeling a little off wednessday morning, but really i was feeling like i was getting a cold, nothing more. In fact i was kind of scared I was to become the 9th member of Nica 53 to get Dangue Fever. Ohh yea, thats right, 8 peaple in my group have already contracted Dangue fever, aka Bonebreaker disease. Luckily I was not the 9th unlucky person. I woke up wednessday night at about 3 in the morning, and in an instant, I was vomiting and peeing out of my but at the same time. Gross I know, but I thought you should really know one of the very frequent sicknesses we as Peace Corps trainees, and soon to be volunteers go through on a very regular basis.

Speaking of almost volunteers, In 6 short days from now, we will be sworn in finally. Well thats the plan at least. It will be really nice to finally be done with this stuff that we have to do during training, but at the same time I will miss being able to see gringos and speak the occational english language. Im excited to be a ramero however.

Oh mom, rob garrett and cruzer, thanks for the box. It was delicious, I ate all the peanut butter filled pretzles the first day. All of you can follow suit and sent me tasty treats as well.

Love you guys. Adios
