Recovering in San Jose

We had some big plans for the 5 or so days in San Jose which included making numerous day trips to San Francisco… Unfortunately, upon our arrival to San Jose, I got very sick. For the past 3 days I have had a fever and have spent a lot of my time sleeping! 

Fortunately, we are staying with Joe’s friend Alan and he has been an amazing host.  This has made being sick and miserable a little easier.  I do not want to even imagine being in my condition in some foreign hostel dorm room with 10 other people.

As I have been sleeping most of the day, Joe has kept himself occupied by researching places to buy a cheap and small laptop computer.  Yesterday, we became the proud owners of a new laptop.  We had some reservations about traveling with a laptop but after spending hours in dark Internet cafes, we decided that a laptop was the way to go.  We will let you know if it turns out to be a good idea!

Hopefully, tomorrow, I will be well enough to make the trip to San Francisco!
