Tuesday – August 25, 2015<\/p>\n

One of the many uncertainties of traveling is staying healthy. No matter how hard you try, things happen<\/em>. Today was supposed to be a special day for our group to visit the Tiga Wasa Village School and have lunch with a local rural family. Preparations had been made, gifts and supplies had been purchased, plans were confirmed. But…..<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I\u00a0had been ill during the night and didn’t sleep well. I informed Jumena that I would stay at the hotel to rest. I felt very tired and my asthma was kicking up as well. I drank some black tea with honey and retreated to my room.<\/p>\n

After a bit of a nap, I went out with a book and sat in the shade by the pool to rehydrate and recover. It was one of the most brilliant ideas I’ve had in a long time. I really needed a down day <\/em>and, after several hours, I felt much\u00a0better.<\/p>\n

By late afternoon everyone\u00a0returned from the village with stories about the visit. A few of us\u00a0walked to several establishments along the beach as the sun set.<\/p>\n

Later, we\u00a0met Jumena for dinner and he led the way to\u00a0a local restaurant. I hadn’t eaten all day except for several Cokes so I was hungry. The lightly fried rice was very good!<\/p>\n
