Just in case anyone is still reading and wondering what happened . . .
Ive been home a little more than a week now. I wasn’t getting better on the gastro-intestinal front and was starting to get a little worried. Turns out I had giardiasis which I probably got from petting cows and not washing up properly. Its usually transmitted through contaminated water (from poo), but thats not the only way you can get it. When I got home, I took some antibiotics and am definitely much much better.
Part 2 of my travels will have to be done at a later date. I definitely feel like I do want to continue and complete the journey. Probably not this year though. Maybe next? Until then I’ll be enjoying the many small adventures of life at home. Sigh, and it IS good to be home!
