10/01/02 (Day 19): Diarrhea

" 'It is a fact that one traveling from a 'low risk' area like the United States to a 'high risk' area like Peru will get sick.' Or so Jorge told us one week ago, and only moments before I feel deep into a bout of nausea and inability to eat. Benj has had sinusitis and is finally feeling up to playing soccer with the others again. We are quite the pair. I'm starting to be able to eat again finally this morning. I've convinced my host mom that maybe it was the meat, so I'm pretty much guaranteed to get meat free meals for here on out."
