Day 6: August 10,2006
Camp la Joya
SICK! That about sums up my day. The day started with a little excitement, as somebody poisoned one of the camp's dogs last night. After that my day consisted of naps between trips to the bathroom. 27 trips on the day, to be exact. I will never again take 2-ply toilet paper for granted, as all I could think about was Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire". I figured out that at this point I was the fifteenth team member to get sick. Not a fun day. In the evening we had a games night, and us Canadians got schooled by the Peruvians at soccer. I didn't play, for obvious reasons. After it was over and I was very slowly making my way to my bed, three of the Peruvian men met up with me on the path. After learning that I was feeling sick, they accompanied me on my trudging journey to the cabin, which I found comforting and encouraging, as they hardly knew me, yet were still concerned about my well-being. And thus ended the worst day of the trip.

Did you write that last statement in your actual journal that day, or did you add it later upon relfection? A little depressing, but nevertheless, honest. I remember it too. I NEVER want to be that sick again in my life! Amen!
