Sickness :(

Forward: I wrote a really long and heartfelt post about being sick and my new host family, but it´s stuck in my computer. So you get a shorter version.

Will and I have just arrived in Arequipa today, after a 10+ hour bus ride with me being sick. I got sick yesterday, Thursday, and so I missed my last day of work. Will stayed home with me to take care of me and force water down my throat since I felt to dizzy to sit up and drink at some points. Luckily the bus ride was a night bus, a doctor I know gave me a sleeping pill, and I also had anti-diarrhea pills which helped for the long ride here.

My new home is lovely. My family is great too and they have been spoiling me and overfeeding me and taking great care of both me and Will. I think I´ll be happy here. Hopefully I get better soon because it sucks being sick when you first get someplace.

That´s is for now.
