Hello again. Sorry it has taken me so long to post again. My family was borrowing a keyboard and mouse for the computer and so now they no longer have them. I think I will try buying one for them. Unfortunately it is also partly due to the fact that I got sick again last week - some sort of stomach infection that made me throw up a lot one night. I had to go to the doctor again, although this time I went to Martha´s uncle who is also a doctor. He had a receptionist and sitting area that was more formal which made me feel a little better before I went in to see him. He gave me a physical exam and told me my intestines were swollen and infected. Since I wasn`t keeping anything down, he gave me a shot of medicine and some more pills to take starting the next day. It is actually much more common to get shots of antibiotics here. Martha has had a sore throat and she went and got a series of shots rather than take pills. Anyway, I missed work for three days from being sick; it was pretty bad. Luckily I made it out in one piece and am feeling much better again.
I was able to celebrate the Mexican independence day before getting sick. I went to the zócalo, the main plaza, and there were a ton of people there. The plaza was close to packed. There were fireworks and, of course, el grito de independencia (the shout of independence). Basically everyone is shouting viva! viva mexico! and the mayor, I think, leads a round of shouting. After that there was a Sinaloan band that played traditional music. It was fun to listen too and watch all the people dancing to the music. I need to learn how to dance the music of la banda (that`s what they call Sinaloan music...it`s hard to describe, a mix between polka and mexican folk).
More to come, I`ll try to be better at this.
