Sure, some may say (Stever) that raw fish is a sure path to hours spent on the toilet, but Peru is known for its ceviche. We were careful in choosing where we ate. We went on the recommendation of a staff member of the language school. But, alas, we will not be eating ceviche again!
The staff here is great. They took us to the doctor yesterday and helped translate for us. (We've only been at language school for a week...don't expect us to know the medical terms!) The first time around I was the only one who was able to...ahem...provide a sample. After an hour, the results came back. Parasite and a bacteria.
We went to 4 different pharmacies looking for generic versions of the drugs I needed.
Erin had to go back later by herself after she was able to provide her sample. She even went to the pharmacies by herself. Her result? Just a parasite.
So now we're back in action, weakened from eating only crackers for two days but feeling much better.

Glad to hear it! Those foreign sicknesses can be rough. I know from experience...I had a rough week in Oaxaca, Mexico when I lived there!
I've been enjoying keeping up with you guys on your adventure! You do a great job writing. God bless you guys there!!
