I blame Chris and Sue for this....

At our going away/Chris's bday celebration, Sue kept making/taking bets on which one of us would fall prey to the traveler's curse...food poisoning...first. Here you go Sue. Liz 2, Ben1. Liz first, but Ben worse. :)

It's been a fun first week here in Quito. I had something that didn't agree with me last weekend, Ben was quite sick on Wednesday, and I got it again last night. Woo.

I'm not sure what it is. We've been super careful about the water and we're cooking most of our food at home. Maybe that's it. Maybe it's my cooking. ;) Whether it's something we're doing, or something we're not, hopefully we can figure it out soon!

We decided to take it easy this weekend to try to recouperate. We'll be staying in Quito and going to museums, hanging out, whatnot. Maybe even start planning our next couple of weeks! We were supposed to meet with our contact at our first volunteer position yesterday, but we were both too sick to make the meeting. Oh well, next week.
