Much better

Wow, I woke up feeling TONS better.  I still had a bit of discomfort, but not enough to bother me or affect my mood.  Thank you God.

I joined the host fam and the gramma for breakfast.  I had two beef empanadas and a grilled cheese.  De-licious.  While they went to Supermaxi, I got ready for the day.  I had time to go online and see what my family back home was up to.  I spoke with my bro and then he said, "hold on."  Through the webcam, I saw him go to the restroom and in there were my parents with my niece and nephew, Stefany and Arturito.  Wow, I got so happy I got somewhat 'emo' I must admit.  They were giving them both a bath and it was just amazing to see them.  Stefany's hair has gotten so long and Arturito can practically fly now.  I missed out on his first steps but I look forward to seeing him grow more and more.  I must also admit I did shed a tear or two.

When they got back, we went with the gramma to a restaurant:  La Casa del Cangrejo.  The place was poppin' and we had to get a number/token - the number 12 - to wait.  We only waited about 2 minutes and got a table.  I ordered arroz con mariscos and there was way more brown rice than shrimp.  It was okay, so drinking the gaseosa was helpful.  My host mom got the same thing, the gramma and the host bro got ceviche de camaron, and my host dad got a big bowl of cangrejo.  Everyone that orders what he did, gets a red apron, a little white plastic board and a wooden 'hammer' so that they can crush the crab and eat the inside. I hope that makes sense.

Yonseili had to go to El Jardin to the SuKasa store to ask about her computer.  We met up with her and her host dad there.  When the issue was resolved -temporarily- she went with him to grab a bite and we cruised the mall and made a stop at a McDonalds ice cream stand.  Ice cream was on me.  The vanilla-chocolate was very good and very fulfilling.

Since Yonseili has been having trouble connecting to the world wide web, my host mom asked a friend to help fix it.  His job is to work on the network or the whatever system for the Pinto stores.  Apparently he's very good at what he does.  We went over to his house, very nice.  His wife and my host mom were pregnant 'together.'  The couple has a boy and a girl.  After checking it out and telling Yonseili that her computer's version was meant to only be sold in Colombia, we came back home and during dinner (which Yonseili joined us for), we had great laughs.  The conversation included laxatives.  Is that TMI?

We did our homework for advertising and said Peace Out to the day.

Highlight of the day: Cheers to better health!
