I'm on edge today.

I came home from Peru with some kind of intestinal parasite (possibly picked up 6 days earlier in Chile or Brazil, no idea). I think it was 6 days earlier mainly because Beanie came down with something 6 days after I got home, and we don't know what we are dealing with. However, I got my doc to prescribe flagyl and that seems to be working. Sucks though.

I both hated and loved Chile. I hated the food, I hated the spooky coal mines I toured, but I loved some of the people. Chile stands out because of the mines and the creepiness and the pictures I took on flickr that creep me out. But Brazil was much nicer overall. Peru was lovely once I gave it a chance, I actually got to stay in a nice hotel (but I was so jumpy from Chile I barely noticed.)

I am terribly worried about a family I do not even know. I finally paid attention to a story that has been running for about 2 days now (that I've noticed) and it turns out that a Yelp.com friend of mine has gone missing with her husband and two small daughters. Ugh. I only recognized who it was because I recalled a picture she had posted on Yelp and her daughter is very recognizable. I panicked, woke up the PF, and put my sick little beanie down to check yelp for her profile. Sure enough, she's the one everyone is talking about. So sorry for their family! I hope they were traveling with lots of extra water and blankets in case they got snowed in. You never know what can be survivable...Kati K and family, come home safe and sound!!!

In any case, my stomach has been revved up and my microbes are running full tilt. I think it's because I'm upset about this family's disappearance. Everyone be safe and much love ya.
