Still in town

We've been practicing a lot over the past few days, and it's going pretty good. We're doing some "unspoken dramas," AKA mimes. They're actually fairly easy to understand and one or two of them uses a narrator. We've learned a lot of songs, in Spanish of course, and they're pretty cool. We've pretty well been having a blast with a few of the other teams here in Lima before we all go out. It's been a lot of fun. Our team is going to 4 diff places before our mid-summer debriefing in Nazca. The first place we'll go is Huarochiri, and we head that way on Sat. So, all of our material has to be learned by then.
I was no-kidding sick a couple few days ago. I woke up early Sun morning and I felt like I had the flu or something. I drank some waters and took some ibuprofens, and that kept me alive until about lunchtime. We went to a sweet church that's held in a movie theatre, and I'm talking the nicest movie theatre I've ever seen (3-4 stories). They played some sweet music. On the walk back to the hostel/REAP office, I felt like a sack of crap. I slept all afternoon, painedly woke up for an ESL class, and went back to bed ASAP. I felt achy all over with a killer headache. It could be food poisoning, who knows? I basically slept in total discomfort (I even experienced a little delerium) for about 20 hours, with a break in the middle. My killer fever finally broke Mon morn around 7, and after that I became a person again. Today I feel great, all better. No worries, Mom.
Going to eat now... By the way, the food here is A1 and awesome. Holla at y'all later!
