Okay, I am sorry, I am obviously not a blogger by nature. I didn’t succumb to the food poisoning, as many of you might suspect. No, I just started working at a couple of jobs in Antigua: bartending and working at a hostel, and didn’t have much spare time. I spent almost 4 lovely months there, constantly meeting new people at the hostel and enjoying a very high culinary standard, before moving on to revisit Honduras. After being chased out by a horse (see below), I am finally coming home. See you all in a week!
I got hit by a runaway horse about a week ago.
I got to spend a night in a posh honduran hospital: extremely modern and clean, I got a private room with cable, and there was a little mall downstairs with a salon and newspaper stand and espresso bar.
I was walking along the side of the street (no sidewalk), heard a horse, realized it was really close, heard someone yell, realized it was going to hit me, and then I don´t remember anything for an hour, but apparently I flew about 3 meters and landed on my head. I am still a bit shakey, but completely fine, and I have some really cool souvenirs in the form of x-rays and a CAT scan of my head.
After it happened this really nice, wealthy Honduran man took me back to his house, and someone cleaned and bandaged my scrapes, and then he drove me to the hospital in Tegucigalpa. Also, his sister is a doctor, so he called her for advice, and stayed to translate. Everything was fine, and they kept me overnight for observation. I am still pretty sore, and have a bit of a headache, but overall, it could have been much much worse. And my insurance should cover it.
