Today was the halfway point of the program! Sadly my food poisoning continued into the
day. Upon waking up I left my room long
enough to let folks know what was going on, grabbed some water, and headed back
to my bed. Luckily for me today was a day without diving and even better the
morning was for folks to sleep in and explore the town. I embraced the sleeping part and though I
didn’t go play with everyone I felt grateful that I did not miss a morning
meeting or any diving, just sightseeing.
In the afternoon we all met in the boy’s room to review our rescue tests
and then have the physics and physiology lectures. I managed to get through all
six plus hours with only some light dozing and nausea which everyone gracefully
ignored. Alma is such a sweetie that she
made me soup when she learned that I wasn’t feeling well. Then she felt bad for not sharing so she
brought everyone chicken and rice soup.
We are lucky to have such an amazing woman here for us. After class ended the local internet installers
arrived, some guys in a pickup truck with some spools of wire in the back. The program had worked with Alma and her
family to have the internet installed.
The girls,
Anna-Maria and Emily,
are over the moon, only about one in ten households has
internet access in Albania and that may be a heavy estimate. That was all the excitement I could handle
for the day and didn’t go to dinner with everyone. They kindly brought me back noodles with
butter, which I was able to eat some of before falling asleep for the rest of
the night.
