Quiet and Rainy Day

Nothing much happened today, it has been raining all day and the completely covered with clouds. Thanks to technology, we where able to watch some TV from back home, just flipping channels as if we where there at our house. It's called "Slingbox" and it's simply a device that is connected to my cable receiver on one end to the internet on the other end. I have a program running locally at my computer that basically controls the cable box, so not only I could watch every channel available back home but also control the DVR function and watched some recorded programs. I have 3 episodes of 24, so I guess we will not be bored on days like these.

Marujita had all her usual therapies except acupuncture. It was funny because she actually fell asleep during physical therapy. Last night she did not sleep at all, maybe 60 minutes at most. She was not crying or anything, nor she had fever or vomiting, she was just eyes wide open as if she had three cups of Italian espresso.

I guess that the stem cells got into her because one of the symptoms is hyperactivity. That means that all those three million cells where active in there, doing their powerful and complicated job. If no symptoms show, it does not mean that they are not causing any effect, is just that every time can be different depending on her.

I went out to the RT Market which is some sort of a Kmart around here. I went for basic supplies such as bread, diet coke, tea, juice and of course, beers. Tomorrow May 24TH is my birthday, so I packed up on a case of a local beer to have some drinks at night with our friends here. We will go out tomorrow during the day to do some sight seeing and perhaps even to the zoo. I will try to get us in to the Hyatt's brunch since I've heard food is very good and they have all kind of varieties. It might be a little expensive but let me tell you, this town is not. Everything is actually very cheap; $30 take far if you go shopping for groceries and to order delivery food (even from places such as KFC or Pappa John's) good not take you down for more $6 for each.

The zoo seems like an interesting place because I've been told that we can feed the lions and tigers by throwing at them live chicken. It sounds a bit cruel I know but hey, we ate snake and I'm far away at this place now so I have to take advantage of those things! Keep posted for tomorrows blog because if we get to go to the zoo, you will find interesting pictures an videos there. Viewer discretion is advised!

Well, I hope everybody is having a blast this weekend and taking your time to enjoy with friends and/or family. I will sit down and watch a couple of movies since today there is nothing much to do.

Sorry for my brief story today, see you tomorrow, right after my 37!
