Whack-a-Mole

My traveler's diarrhea which plagued me pretty from Fez to Essaouira came back with a vengeance last night.  Was it the meal at Ali Baba?  Maybe the tomato was washed with water that wasn't parasite free?

So just when I finish my malaria course and feel better this happens.  Oh well.  So the question I have to ask myself is do I want to get into a station wagon with 7 other people or a bus with 19 others and make my way to Saint Louis today?

I guess so.  I think my gastro-intestinal tract is empty now and Saint Louis is only about 3 hours away.  The vehicles leave when full and they fill up fasted before 8:30.  Oh well.  That's about 50 minutes away.  So I'll be a little late, but I should find something.  I hope I don't have to stay at the Gare Routier Pompiers for long because the oil mud smells horrible.

So next post will likely be from Saint Louis.  I'll spend a couple of days there and then head back down to Dakar for the trip to Gambia.
