Iron supplements are sure hard on a gal’s system, it seems. I’ve had to stay close to bed the last two days. Boring and frustrating. Whatever, so long as I’m back to my glorious self in two weeks when I leave for Guatemala.
When I first told Yo-Nenny about my idea for this trip she said, “It’s good you’re doing some of these things in your twilight years.”
My current plan is to hang out in Antigua for two weeks and then explore Guatemalan ruins for a week, and then — a plan that emerged last week — hie me to Costa Rica where I’ll track down Jill, who’s now on the Oso Peninsula in Corcovada National Park. We could backpack down there, maybe. And the rivers look beautiful (though low at this time of year). I just found a week-long kayaking school which is way too much money but doesn’t it look great?
Rio Pacuare seems to be the most popular for whitewater rafting. I haven’t been able to find any multi-day, camp-your-way-down-the-river trips yet.
