Sick days

Here's what happens when you get sick.. Keep in mind they went to a private hospital rather than the public ones:
Daniel, Harvey, and I went to a Merida, Mexico hospital. We asked around for a doctor when we got there and they pointed us toward the emergency room, so we walked over there and asked for the doctor again. Within about 2 minutes of being in the emergency room, I was being looked at by a doctor. After I tried to describe to him my symptoms, he walked out of the room and got one of those masks that people wear to avoid diseases. He looked in my throat and made a funny sound and started writing down prescriptions. Four prescriptions later I was walking towards the farmacia. Within an hour of leaving the house, we had seen a doctor, been prescribed medications, and picked up our medicine at the farmacia. Now, I am sitting here writing this blog after watching/sleeping through [the movies] "Salt" and "Harry Potter," while everyone else went to the cenotes all day.
Getting sick seemed like the fun thing to do this week, so several of us are trying it out.  Poor John and Daniel had to miss out on a cenote today, but hopefully everyone will be able to join us for the ones at Cuzamá on Friday.  Cenote video to come from the well portion of our group soon!
