Ok, You Guys Asked for it!
Ok, you guys asked for it...
So... for the last few days I've had a low-grade fever and slight nausea. No diarrhea or anything else. It was starting to take the life out of me, so I described it to my teacher in case he recognized the symptoms. He didn't, but he told the dueña. She gave me some tea that she said would help. It seemed to, but the next day (today) I felt like crap and had yet another fever.
So, back at school I tell the dueña again and she gives me a little cup and tells me to poop in the cup and take it to the sanitarium for analysis. Ha ha, when was the last time you had to poop in a cup?
So I sashay on down to the local sanatorium with a cup full of poop. This is not in my vocabulary yet. To say that I was unsure of what exactly I was doing is an understatement. Well, the sanitarium girl took my cup of poop like it was an everyday occurance, and I guess it is for her, and charged me Q15 (what, $1.05?) for the analysis.
Well, I guess either the thing I had ran its course, or the tea worked, because the analysis came back negative and I felt better afterwards
Another mini-adventure...
(no, I didn't take any other pictures, this will have to do, ok?
)

Just Some Random Pics of People
Here are just some pics I've taken.
I whipped out my camera as this guy was just waking up.
It's a lot of motorcycle for either a 125 or a 250:
I'm not the only one taking pics...
La Policia - still riding 250's

Just a couple of pics
I took today. I remembered my camera 
This is actually quite common - guys passed out on the sidewalk. It gets below freezing here at night and I wonder why these guys don't die of hypothermia
My X-Ray tech:
That's it! Nothing new, still going to school and going to the dentist.

The Dentist
Today was Day 1 of my grueling month-long dental procedure. So far, so good. I am happy and confident with my dentist so far.
It's the white building on the right:
The reception area. I was here first thing this morning, so there is no crush of people.
I always ask to take a picture, and most of the time the folks say yes, but when the camera comes out, everyone scatters. Here they are, caught in the act of running away. I was too quick for them today
The one and only chair:
Ok, when was the last time you saw a dental patient in a ride report?
lol, yes, that's me. Xela is at about 8,000 feet and the temps range from 0 to 20C, but nothing has heat. That bigass wool chumpa is permantly attached to me.
