Dear All, Well yikes. What a crappy day yesterday was. Not sure what was going on. Im TOTally paranoid about amoebas now. My mom had them while in Peace Corps and got very sick and my cousin just said he has had them three times so...I guess no matter what I will make it. This am I am feeling much better.
Yesterday the family I am staying with fed me guavas, a campho phenique type concoction, and then mangoo (pronounced like the ue in glue) which is platana (plaintain or large green bananas boiled and mashed and full of raw garlic). Well folks here say the garlic kills the amoebas and Mom said the Ecuadorians said it puts them to sleep.....so maybe they are asleep and maybe they are dead.
Dally (pronounced Dagee) Jan and Filipe´s daughter´s friend Erica was sick for 3 weeks and in hospital for 2 of those weeks with amoebas......yikes! Today I feel super duper and walked for 1.5 hours in the park. Soon we are off to swim in a POOL and then a BBQ for dinner. Tomorrow to a friend´s party at the beach east of the city.
My MOM is flying into Santa Domingo on Valentine´s Day and spending the remainder of my trip with me which is very exciting. No plans at this point. 32 days until I return to the USA. Today is 80 degrees and breezy very nice actually.
Ok thanks for all the neat comments on Facebook! So many caring friends and family!
Besos, xxx, Georgie
