Sunday was a rest day from the plant medicine. After breakfast we loaded into the bus and went to the ruins outside Pisac. My tummy was a little unsettled so I stayed in the bus while the others hiked the ruins for over an hour. I was glad I stayed behind as several of the fit young girls struggled with the hike and climb. I still haven’t adjusted to the high altitude.

When they returned we went into town and had lunch. I had a really good chicken sandwich. We haven’t been served any meat yet and it felt good to eat some.

After lunch we had one hour to spend at the market. I found the tablecloths I wanted to get. Haven’t figured out how they will fit in my suitcase yet but I have time to figure that out.

We came back to the center and I took a long nap. I hadn’t slept much the night before. We had dinner but I couldn’t eat all of it as I still felt a bit unsettled.

Nicole and I lit some candles and sat in front of the fire in our living room and talked after dinner. I was able to sleep really good last night.

Woke up with really bad diarrhea Monday morning. The retreat leader just came and brought me some collided silver. He is having the chef fix a juice of some sort and is going to pick up some electrolyte drink for me. Nicole got me a cup of tea.

It is slowing down and I am feeling better although a bit weak yet.

Trusting I will be able to do ceremony tonight. I will need to get rehydrated as I understand purging is possibly involved tonight. Hard to purge if you have nothing on your stomach.

Weird that I am having diarrhea as since my thyroid was taken out I have had to take magnesium to be able to go. I haven’t taken any since I got here.

Trusting I have just eaten too many veggies and it is my body saying WTF?

It may be an interesting day.
