I´ve officially become a part of a medical trial. There are ads at my school, and in every free publication here in Antigua for asking for participants with "traveler´s diahreah". Seeing as how I always manage to come down with this affliction when I´m out of the country, I knew my time would come.

My friends and I had actually joked about it. The compensation is pretty nice, $250. We called it the diahrrea lottery, and the first one of us to win would have to treat everyone else to an all you can eat Sunday Brunch at Cafe No Se. Well, I won the lottery. I visited the research center on Saturday for a full physical exam and to give all kinds of samples. I must have been admistered the placebo, though, because nothing has gotten better.

On another bright note, I climbed up on the roof last week to take a nice picture of the volcanoes. When I was climbing back down, I fell and broke my camera. I´m thinking of using my diahrrea money for a new camera.
