Last day :(

 So I felt much better all last night and even enjoyed dinner and going out, which I am so thankful for. Everyone including staff and volunteers met at the bunkhouse for dinner . We had curry, rice, and salad.; it was tasty and didn't bother my stomach much. We also surprised Bhavika with a birthday cake because her 21st birthday is on sunday. The cake was delicious!!

After dinner we went over to bhavikas home stay family and she made pina coladas for everyone and even made me a virgin colada, so nice! We decided to play a game, which sounds dumb, but ended up being really cool. We had different color packets of Tang (kind of like kool-aid) and each color represented a different type of story you had to tell. For example if you drew orange you had to tell a story when you were happy, red =mad, blue= sad, peach= fun and there was one that someone would ask you a question. It seemed dorky at first but we all learned so much about eachother. It was actually really cool and we had a great time. After the coladas were gone we headed to our favorite hang out place, Greedys, for ladies night. Lastly, we headed to the casino for some karaoke. It was pretty packed in there and was a fun time. I went home early because I started to feel a liittle sick to my stomach, but nothing too bad.

Now, I just woke up and have been having a lot of cramps, nothing unbearable just a little uncomfortable. I am thinking once I get another dose of medication in my system it will really help. Today we are at the clinic again and hopefully we will see a lot more patients.

Tonight is my last dinner with my host family and I think we might be going to Benque for the Benque fiesta. I also really need to get some more ice cream at cayo twist before I leave!!

I cannot believe I have already been here for 2 weeks, time has gone by so fast. I also cant believe how much I have learned and experienced from the time I got off the plane in Belize until now. I was terrified the moment I stepped off the plane wanting nothing more than to be back home and now I am comfortable being out of my comfort zone. I have met great people, doctors and patients. There were a few rough days that I was ready to come home, but I am pretty sure every one of us volunteers had that feeling and of course the amoebas ruined a little of my fun. But, I am so happy I had the opportunity to have this experience. Thanks for all the support through reading my blog, commenting on my pictures and calling me.

I am sure I will be very bored tomorrow during my 5 hour lay over so I will post one more blog. Cant wait to see you all when I get home!!
