And the bad luck continues—I have horrible diarrhea, and spent most of last night puking and shitting every available substance out of my body. I swear, I don’t know what’s up with this trip. I’ve never had this many things go wrong in a single journey…But it’s kind of in an odd way too: bad luck that I left my passport at Uncle Ed’s, but good luck being able to rent the car and get out and back in time to catch my bus to Nicaragua; bad luck that the school structure is pretty mediocre and a lot of the teachers aren’t trained, but good luck that I got three of the best teachers at the school and have been able to make it what I want; bad luck getting mugged, but miraculous good luck to not have anything stolen; bad luck with the iPod, but good luck that it was returned to me only slightly the worse for ware; and finally bad luck (and horrendous timing!!) to get sick on my last night here in Ometepe, but good luck that the owner of this hotel is accommodating and won’t make me pay for the extra night that I’m probably going to need to spend here. Ridiculous.
I’m feeling better this morning, but still woozy when I stand up, so I’m going to try to sleep all day. The owner also said that he’ll have his employees bring me juice every two hours to rehydrate… I haven’t tried to eat anything yet… I don’t think that’ll be a good idea for a while, but I hope that tomorrow I’m feeling well enough at least to travel!
I’m so ready to leave
