Another week in paradise

Sorry to leave you guys hanging, but 4 trips to the clinic later, I'm fine! The receptionist there is my new friend though. When I went to get the results of my stool sample Friday, I walked in and she was like, "Rachel! How are you feeling??" She's so sweet. Turns out I don't have a parasite, and I'm almost done with all the different medicine I've had to take. I'm trying to adjust to normal food again now as I've had a week of soup, pureed potatoes, crackers, and water. Mmmmm!

The week has been pretty great though otherwise! Half my group is sick though. I accompanied my roommate to the clinic Wednesday and she was so scared. She thought they were going to give her an IV like they did for me because she said she was really dehydrated from her runny nose...she had a sinus infection. It amused me :)

We took a tour of San Jose, the capital, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights here it's 2 for 1 movies, so we went to see Up! in 3D. A group of students went out to dinner at this restaurant I always pass on the way home Thursday night, but it was a total rip off. Erica and I got a plate for two that had 2 burgers and legit 4 fries each. $8, but we split it so it wasn't AS horrible. And Friday, my class went to San Jose to visit the Museo de Oro (Museum of Gold) which is the largest collection of gold in Central America.

Friday afternoon, I missed my yoga class because it was pouring outside and my tica mom wouldn't let me walk two houses down to the street wear I could flag a taxi even though I had a rain jacket and umbrella. I slept instead :)
