07/10 Well the cold(?) did end up migrating to my stomach so I stayed in Sacapulus yesterday. I may have found a wonder drug though. A lady at the pharmacy hooked me up with some pills called Tinidazol. I popped 4 of them over 2 hours and I was back to 100%. The loose bowels (sorry) went away almost immediately. Wish I’d known about it sooner.

I felt so good today I didn’t even realize I’d climbed 4500 feet by the time I got here. Had some steady rain for a couple hours and I actually got a bit cold which was kind of nice for a change. Gave me a chance to wear my rain jacket for the first time in since probably Alaska. Not sure what the temp got down to but I could see my breath for a bit.

My ride a day; rest a day might have to continue one more time. No point in missing the World Cup tomorrow. The rack is several days from getting delivered so it’s either hang out here or hang out in Panajachel. I’m not suffering too much-the posada I’m in is only US $12 and it has a nice bed, hot shower and HBO/Cinemax. :)
