Nothing really happened yesterday that's worth mentioning except that in the whole day, the only thing I ate was half a sandwhich (was small enough as it was) and maybe around half of my drink (what a waste... don't suppose I could have taken it out? It was good... Oh, it was a rather large one and almost like a milkshake so it was filling). As for today, I didn't go to the project because I was still suffering from the runs (if you know what I mean) so I stuck around by the house. Did I mention that the whole time so far I've been sick and suffering from the runs, we didn't have running water? Lovely. However, I did go out late in the afternoon for the 5 pm meeting at our HQ ... read more

Bleh.. Not feeling all that great right now... not sure what it is but I'm feeling nauseated. :( Hope I'd get better after sleeping, and hope I don't get to that unpleasant point if I don't get better overnight. This morning the group of us (minus 2 who had things to tend to) headed to the museum straight (agreed on it the other day) instead of meeting at the cross (which in a way is counter-productive because then we have to go south west and then head back north again). That however, caused one of the volunteers to be late because she thought we were meeting at the cross again. Our bad. Started off with watching a worker (probably a volunteer, but either way this is the first time I've seen him here and I never ... read more

Today was the first day at the Mayan Medicine Museum where me and a handful of others (and a few volunteers from Nataté) are going to spend a few days working. We had to meet at the big Mayan Cross by the Cathedral (this time I mean the Cathedral and not Santo Domingo. Heh.. had it wrong in the earlier posts) by 9 the latest. As my home location was a mile away, I left by myself a quarter after 8 after speed showering and chowing down my breakfast (my housemate had come down for breakfast later than I did and was taking his time with it. He has longer legs so it wouldn't take him as long to get to the Cross than I would). I arrived about 15 mins before 9 so I ... read more

So, I missed posting yesterday because I completely forgot that the Netbook shuts off at 25 mins and it was too late to ask my housemate if I could borrow his surge protector (and adaptor. Failed to mention earlier that in Mexico, few places, if any, are grounded. So instead of 3 prongs, pretty much every socket is two pronged). I started the day with being pretty much ditched by my long-legged housemate on the way to the HQ (apparently he did that on purpose. Pfffft...). While we were waiting for everyone else to arrive, one of my classmates came in with a mark on her forehead area. Apparently, she didn't watch where she was going and rammed her head off a plank that some woman was carrying (ouch!). If I remember correctly, she was ... read more

So... tired... I was rudely woken this morning by what sounded like cannon fire. Well, I imagine it was just fireworks but I would think I would have heard the crackling sound after the deep boom if that was the case. Wonder what it was... After breakfast, I found myself in the lead, as my housemate decided to make me lead for a change. Great. So we headed off on what I knew for sure was the route we take until we came to a fork in the road; Straight or left? Well, he wouldn't tell me. Great choice pal... So I took a left and found myself taking a nice scenic route to the HQ, bumping into another pair that were just leaving their place. Guess I was off by a mile (from home we ... read more
