Off to Antigua

Just a quick note to say that my fever has FINALLY broken, and I’m no longer waking up in the middle of the night with chills, groping for the extra blanket and acetominephen. It is SO nice not to have to pop pills every few hours to stay coherent. And I have more energy, which is a good thing. (I am amused to say, though, that despite the flu I still managed to exhaust my guide yesterday. I suppose that’s just natural tiger enthusiasm.) I’m going to try buying that backstrap loom now, and then I’m off to Antigua, near Guatemala City, where I hear there are even more shops with good textiles. I’m still missing a few samples, and hope to fill out my collection there. 🙂
