Nothing stops an Ox! - 2 March 2009

I'm convinced it was food poisoning.  Whatever was in the daily ration of meat smothered in gravy HAS to be what did me in last night.  So even though I'm not feeling good I insist on making the hike to the next refugio.

After a little lie down, that is.  I skipped breakfast since the thought of eating started turning my stomach, and about 10 am or so we headed out for Refugio Pehoe.  During my rest we found out that someone else was sick last night, so there's no way I'm staying here again today.

We do the hike, and about 2 pm I manage to eat a couple of pieces of bread.

Refugio Pehoe is spectacular.  It's large, spacious, clean, and has hot showers.  I clean up, and it feels so, so good!  Then I sleep, while Jen and Serkan have lunch and read.  I get up for dinner only to decide it's a bad idea when Serkan reads the menu.

One downside to the refugio - it's dorm-style.  So there's a couple that joins us in our room.  Turns out that they're the answer to yesterday's question:  Who on earth can sleep (and snore) through my bouts of distress.  I still slept pretty well, though.

So well, in fact, that I don't realize it's Jennifer's turn to suffer.
