Santa Ana to San Salvador...sick

So I started getting sick Sunday evening. My stomach felt a little off but I wasn't worried about it. Unfortunately for me I woke up Monday morning throwing up. So sick day. I laid in bed a good part of Monday morning and only got up to try to eat something. 2 girls I had met at the hostel gave me electrolyte pills and crackers. I took those and went back to bed. I got up a little later and packed all my stuff ( I hadn't packed last night because I didn't feel too well). Then I laid back down. Check out is at 1 so around 1pm I got out of the room and went to lay in the hammock to await for Carlos- let's call him Carlos 2 as to not confuse him with the hostel owner. Carlos 2 is the brother-in- law of my friend Yaneth whom I workwd with in Baltimore. I had told Yaneth I was going to Central America and was given the contact information of Yaneth's husband family. I had emailed Carlos and he had invited me to stay with his family and said he would pick me up from Santa Ana. He finally came around 1:30 and I, still feeling ill, was introduced to his sister Claudia, whom I had actually met before in Colombia, and his 2 nephews. We drove to lake Coatepeque for lunch.

 I order a soup and barely ate any of it. So I packed it up to go. Afterwards we drove to San Salvador and then to a beach.

 At this particular beach they sold seafood and the smell did not help my stomach at all. We sat at the beach for a while and enjoyed the weather and the view. Afterwards we went to their house where I met the rest of the family. The rest of the family includes the mother, some sisters, and some children. I went to lay down and fell asleep. I didn't eat dinner that night and just slept.
