wow! it only took 3 days in lima for my stomach to turn upside down and get extremely pissed off at me for some unknown reason. actually, i´m pretty sure it was that sketchy empanada i ate the day before. damn tempting it was i tell ya. i´ve been holed up in the bathroom and bed room for foor days but the skies are blue again my friends. this happened twice before when i was here and in fact it was much worse so i wasn´t too concerned, just really tired of it. maria has been giving her opinion on solutions to rosa but i´ve had to decide against most of them, one included mixing a bunch of wacky stuff with frosted flakes and making a sort of gruel. went ahead and skipped that. she did pick us up everything neede to make emoliente which is a delicious local tea highly praised for it´s cleansing properties. well, i neede some cleansing and luckily i had rosa to help me out with making it.
