Well, she is only an Ox by marriage, after all - 3 March 2009

Turns out that Jen got sick 6 times from 4 am to 8 am, which is bad enough.  Of course they turn all of the lights off in the refugio at night, so she had to go out the door, down the stairs, and through a twisty-maze like hallway to get to the bathroom.  In true helpful-husband fashion I slept through the whole thing, only realizing something was wrong when I woke up to see her huddled in a pathetic heap in her sleeping bag.

Later (much, much later) we'll argue about who had to deal with the worse circumstances.

Basically I read all day while she slept.  The day was not without some comic relief, though.  Our snoring friends from last night moved on to the next camp site and were quickly replaced with a young German couple.  I say young - they were college aged which looks young to me at this point.

Then, there were a couple of ladies who poked their heads in.  First comment:  "I thought these dorms were separated by sex."  They spent the rest of the day out and about, coming back into the room around 11 pm.  Sadly I was asleep for this, but according to Jen, they got up into their bunks and then one of them said "It smells like FEET in here" between muffled sobs.

So maybe we're not having the worst time after all.
