Yesterday I woke up at 5am feeling so terrible that I went and forced myself to puke until there was nothing left in my stomach. Then my digestive system decided that everything else needed to go, so I spent another 4 hours in the bathroom. After a very feverish day of sweating and trying to sleep, I finally felt better by night and was able to go eat a bowl of mac and cheese and drink some gatorade.
This morning I woke up very early and felt awesome, which was a good thing because I had to guide a tour at 8:30. The only problem with this was that I didn't know the way to the project in Santiago Zamora, having only been there once on my first day in Antigua. Ladies from the village were supposed to meet me at Casasito at 8:00 but, as I thought would happen, they did not show up. So I went and met the group and proposed that we venture forth with the understanding that I had no idea where to go, but that I could hopefully get us there by asking people for directions. Amazingly enough we made it! The tour went very well and our driver was delightfully tourist-oriented and stopped at every little market and really made a great trip out of it. He is the first shuttle driver I have been pleased to do business with in Guatemala. We got back just as it started to pour down rain, which is my favorite type of weather here, and I am feeling elated. It's the type of elation that only lows like yesterday can create.
Here is a picture from the tour
