La venganza de Moctezuma

venganza de Moctezuma. (De Moctezuma II, 1466-1520, emperador azteca en la época de la Conquista de México por los españoles.) f. Diarrea contraída por un turista extranjero. Compárese turista.

Today its Thursday and we are still in DF. Yesterday I passed all day throwing up, being dizzy and I almost fainted (seemed really similar to what I passed in Barcelona last Christmas). So we decided I was not fit for traveling. Carolina would go tonight, but her appointment in Villa Hermosa was cancelled, so we will take it relaxed and travel Saturday during daytime to San Cristobal.
Trying to retrack where I would have contracted my bad condition, we could only think of some salad or a milkshake eaten in Chapingo University, which we ate both, but as Carolina says: its Moctezumas revenge!
Moctezuma, was the last Aztec emperor, conquered by the Spanish. And now when tourists get ill in Mexico, they say it is his revenge.
However, the family doctor (all the family thought I had to see a doctor, although it seemed to me it just had to pass, not being really surprised by my illness… but in the end they made me have a phone consult) thought I did not have a food infection, since I was only throwing up, not having diarrea. He thought it more an irritation of the stomach, probably by eating mole and many chile and recommended me taking ranitidina.
It does make me a bit afraid of going to the villages, where the food conditions are much less hygienic, will I resist? But the doctor told us not to worry, it is normal for foreigners… And as Carolina says, we will just have to try, if I do not resist, I can come back to San Cristobal and interview people there… of course not what I want, but we will see!!

Today, I am better and have been eating, although I still feel some pain in my stomach. Meanwhile, I am reading about maize varieties and forage plants.

Oh, and we will pass by Ocosingo, to hopefully find forms to apply for grants, as one of the farmer Juan´s 14 children would like to go to the university...
