¡Mexico!

So I think this is the best time in Mexico I've had so far. I've been to Oaxaca three times and Cuernavaca once. The group from the university in my hometown is small and compact...they're all muy padre and I like them. I get sick everytime I come to Mexico. Of course, I think I'm still paying for what I did to my body this entire semester in college. I'm never doing that again. I was getting sick the last few days of the semester, and I only had two or three days after I left school before we left for Mexico. I didn't get as ridiculously sick as I should have because my sister bought me some good preventive medicines and I slept the entire day before going home to pack my things. Anyway, I came down with illness before we were one week into our Mexico trip. I've been sick since Friday, when I became really tired, my whole body ached, and I could feel a fever coming on. Advil is from God, but it wears off. I have spent most of the past two days in my bed, so tired and feeling so weak and helpless. Quite an odd feeling to realize how weak you are. But dang, the view from my window is awesome! We spent most of the first week at the seminary in Xoxo, now we are all with different families in their homes, and next week we are going back to the seminary before we return to Tejas. I have my own room in this house! I love the view, especially at night! We are on the mountains, so you can see all the lights from the houses and things. I am going to take pictures, so I will post those on here. I think my understanding of Spanish is getting better...this has been a great trip so far, except for the sickness.
