So...this is the day where the sickness set it. It started off innocently enough...we got up to our alarm. Tony didn't feel too well...tummy troubles...But we were chalking it up to our previous night's dinner while excellent--and NOT too spicy--we live in Texas for goodness sakes--the spices are very different and are said to upset the delicate tummies of Americans. "I" felt ok other than not hungry...not unusual for me in the early morning. The girls ate better than morning than any other one! We headed out for Gondar. The ride was lovely, pretty countryside and uneventful. Tony's tummy troubles appeared to resolve by the time we got into Gondar. Mine, however, kicked in the moment we stepped out of the car to visit the wonderful castles of Gondar. We were able to see the castles and enjoyed them, but by the time we got to the hotel a short time later, we were both achey, upset tummies, fever and chills. Tony and the girls went to lunch and to visit another church, I stayed in bed under much covers shivering. Remembr, its cold here and Gondar had the worst weather in terms of temperature. But, this day was not ALL lost...here are some pics...
We naturally played it low key in Gondar. Like I said, I slept all afternoon and evening too. We both started feeling better but it was just a cruel joke. Fortunately, the girls were happy having a dinner of peanut butter and crackers that night. More to come 'tomorrow.'
