The Full Experience

I am sick. 5 weeks here, it was bound to happen to my Gringo self. I think it’s part of the Mexican experience. A very very evil part. I’ll get over it, hopefully soon, but for now, I am sick. Thank goodness we planned on skipping class today anyway, because I was up at about 4 am this morning and there was no way I was making it. Please pray this sickness passes quickly… it’s very painful, weakening, and it’s been really hard to eat today. I’d hate for this to last much longer. this just hasn’t been my week. P.S. Mom, stop worrying, I’ll be fine.

But, in being the awesomely tough cookie and super trooper that I tend to be, still went to the zoo today, like we had planned. Despite being a crazy long bus ride to the outskirts of the city, we had a good time and got to see a part of the city we hadn’t really seen before. A less city, more traditional Mexican area of the city. The zoo was pretty good, too! Highlights: White tiger, feeding giraffes, and playing with baby monkeys! Here’s some pics:

So, that’s all for now I think. I’ll write more when I feel better… I’m so sorry these have been such negative posts! I’m still having fun, I promise. Just a rough couple of days. I’m off to sleep… Talk to yall again soon.
