5 days late but with reason

Hola! It is Wednesday the 16th of July, and I survived the weekend. This topic is often chuckled at, snickered about and laughed over but unfortunately is no laughing matter: Montezuma's revenge. Yes, that's right....the squatting splatters, the runs, the squirts, the only party in your pants you will never send out invitations for,and my favorite...el rio de mi culo. I am finally over having a bad case of the runs off and on for the past 5 days and I thank whatever powers that be for the invention of Immodium, as nothing else worked. Montezuma conquered the herbal remedies, he bested bananas, he even defeated home-grown herbal tea. The fingernails scraping down the bathroom walls in anguish aside, it has been a good weekend. The family invited me a second time to the graveyard, which I very reluctantly declined as I needed to finish an inordinate amount of homework. In 3 days we head to Palenque, and I am very much looking forward to exploring the ruins. In 5 days I will be back in the good ol' USA. I must admit having mixed feelings about returning, I love this town, the people, and the family I have been staying with, but I also miss my friends and my life stateside and look forward to returning to KSU.
