Soy Triste y Enferma

I am not a happy camper boys & girls - I am sick! Yes, that's right, on my wonderful vacation in sunny, warm Spain I have a cold and an evil one at that. I won't bore you with the details but it has been enough to keep me in bed pretty solid for the past 24 hours...*sigh*. So what does this mean? Other than if I drink another cup of tea I may never drink the stuff again; it means I did NOT go to the Prado today! And it's closed on Monday!! And I leave on Tuesday!!! I did try to go today - I went to bed early last night, stayed in bed late, got up had toast & tea and a hot shower, popped some cold meds that I (thankfully) brought with me - went back to bed for awhile and then slowly made my way to the Metro - by the time I got there I was so worn out that I sat on a bench for a bit and then slowly made my way back to the hostel. If not for the fact that I went to both the Thyssen & the Reina Sofia on Friday I would be extremely upset. I realize that most of you don't know that I went to those museums on Friday as I haven't finished the post - it will be up some time today, I'm just finding it difficult to write about all amazing things I saw in a succinct manner. So currently, other than the mass tea & water fest I am on, I'm trying to see if I can stay here one more day and go to Barcelona one day late to try for the Prado on Tuesday. I will keep everyone posted on what happens - cross your fingers!

I'm sorry you're feeling like crap. *BIG HUG* Hopefully it's something that will go away quickly. Try to take it easy; this is your vacation after all...

Leave it to you, chica. It was the plane no doubt. I got sick in Hawaii two days after arriving there. Same thing: headcold.

Get better!

Take care of you!
