Friday - Dec. 24, 1999 - My mother's birthday. Today we went to the beach and I had a nice swim in the ocean. The water was nice and warm. The sun is incredibly hot on the beach and I wore shorts and a tshirt instead of my usual long pants and long shirt. This was a mistake. Eventually the heat overtook me and I went back in the truck and back to the hotel. On the way back the truck stopped and I cleared out the entire contents of my stomach. After that I felt alot better. I lied down and rested at the hotel for 2 hours, drank 2 miso soups, several liters of water and 3 "Emergen-c" (health food gatorade substitute) packets. In the evening I went out with the group in Cienfuegos for a nice lobster dinner. Emily gave me a warm hug when she saw me to wel- come me back. The town is a very old beautiful colonial town. Unfor- tunately I had to miss the afternoon boat ride, town walk, and histor- ical society because I got sick. Anyway one can't always do every- thing. I slept very well that night.
