The Diagnosis

The past few days we both developed a obnoxiously itchy rash that looks along the lines of tons of acne and no one else seems to have it. We have been puzzled and scratching our skin off practically. We thought that Guatemala was just beating the shit out of us, but actually, we just have terrible hygiene. We were informed that not washing your clothes or not showering frequently can end up causing heat rash. Sadly, we fall into both of those categories and are therefore are changing our ways. Laundry was done today when we spotted the first laundromat!

Also, our purifier has bitten the dust and for this amount of time it would just be ridiculous in my mind to filter everything. So, we have resorted to drinking the tap water although characterized by Wikipedia as ¨low and inconsistent¨ and have yet to have any problems but weird looks from other travelers. I have also avoided any type of sickness so far and have high hopes to keep up this pattern.

For any real news on the last week of adventues you can check out Zoe´s until I feel any energy or money for internet...
