Hot Toddy´s or Fiambre?

Chris is sick AGAIN. It is NOT pretty, that´s for sure! We´ve had the same thing to eat except two things: 1) Yesterday Chris drank a Hot Toddy (hot milk w/whisky and Cinnamon) 2) Tuesday Chris ate this Fiambre (a local dish for Dia de los muertos) that contained some shellfish (which will be another blog about how my host family tried to kill me...).

I think it was the shellfish that got him, he thinks the milk.... I don´t know, but I think that shellfish in a country where we´re not directly on the coast, and all the water is contaminated makes more sense... but who knows.

Any thoughts on this one?

I Spy

Well this will be short, but I needed to write a little bit of a story.... Every country that I have visited thus far in 2009 has presented a midget in clear sight. In the USA it´s quite clear and obvious there are many, Mexico - I saw one on the beach in March running in a thong chasing birds, Honduras - I saw a midget get in a kayak and later came to find out that he was actually a porn star!, and Yesterday in Guatemala I saw a midget that owned an Internet cafe. I think that perhaps I´ve moved away from mullets to midgets...
