And I don´t care what they say about this coca tea, it isn´t doing anything! Woke up this morning with quite possibly the worst headache of my life, thought...ok I´m just hungry, need some of that tea that the Peruvians swear by...for those of you who are wondering, I did not make it to church but I´m sure God understands.
Andy and I trekked through the Plaza which was all blocked off to traffic with it being Sunday...it was a nice break from the exhaust fumes! We went up all these hills trying to find this restaurant but we finally were just starving and stopped at this really cute outdoor place for desayuno. The menu had all the American options as well as Peruvian dishes. I settled on waffles with nutella and scrambled eggs...though I can´t say I was able to eat much. The waffle was in the shape of a flower with a tiny little heart shaped waffle next to it, so cute. Andy got an egg sandwich on fresh bread...it looked delicious. And of course fresh squeezed jugo de naranja, yum! Had some coca tea in the off chance it would help, but can´t say it did...
I really wasn´t feeling well so the rest of the day is a blur...I paid 4 soles, best money ever spent btw, on a cab ride back to the hotel where I promptly fell asleep trying to shake this headache. Ultimately I reluctantly started taking my Diamox (thanks Dr. David) in the hopes that it will kick in and get me back to myself in time for our hike on Wednesday. I slept all day and fortunately woke up feeling better and ready to eat...we had pizza in our hotel, how very uncultured of us. So for good measure I had a steaming hot cup of coca tea. It´s growing on me but still can´t say it´s helping this headache!
It´s almost 10 pm now and of course since it´s Sunday everything seems closed and I am wide awake. Such is life..hopefully will wake up feeling better tomorrow...I´m thinking my next vacation will most definitely be at sea level!
