[I suggest to not read this entry if you get queasy or are eating.]
Got home from dinner last night~8pm and soon after lying down on the bed - Houston, we had a problem.  My stomach was quite upset and I preceded to visit the toilet many times.  About every half hour.  I thought I might have had the best of it around 11am today, but threw up my banana & water lunch while writing this blog.  The immodium and Pepto aren't quite doing the trick yet.  Wondering if I should take the anti-biotics they prescribed of if I just need some more time.
Luckily today was a do whatever day so I'm not missing much, but I leave tomorrow ~5:30am to start hiking the Inca trail for 4days so I don't have a lot of time to get better.  Decisions... decisions.

Of course I can point to several things that might have not been good ideas to eat, but don't know what it was specifically.  Food poisoning generally start 4 - 36 hours after eating contaminated food, so that pico de gallo from the Mexican restaurant or that buffet lunch yesterday are potential candidates.  At least the dinner I bought last night is probably off the hook.

Signing off.  Probably won't be back for a while - off on the trail hopefully...
