Bacterial dysentery!

A fancy term for getting e coli., or some other equally fun germ that settled quite well in my digestive system.  I have to say that it´s pretty phenomenal I got this as I don´t eat meat (strike out raw meat sources), I boil my water, I wash my veggies, and I use hand sanitizer.  Oh well eh?  It´s probably from my cat sticking her paws in my mouth in the middle of the night.  Tests were pretty conclusive so I got the right meds and am on my way to healthiness!

So that was a fun update.

I should also add that I have a date with Pucará, my new community, on Wednesday!  I head up to Quito on Tuesday for some Mister Bagel, run up to Otavalo and then Pucará on Wednesday for a day of meetings and activities, come back for a night in Quito, run back to my site, and hopefully begin packing like crazy.  I´d take pictures of the site and of the journey ahead but my camera (my waterproof, shockproof, dustproof camera) bit the dust when my cat bumped it off the bed.  So much for being shockproof.  So far she´s broken my digital camera and my DVD player.  Must be on a mission to cut me off from modernity.
