"gerardia" sp???

Asher Ballonoff Journal- 4/15

We made it to our destination for our trek 4 days ago. Kanjin gumpa. We first started at the mountain view hotel. We had 2 double bedrooms but no attached bathroom. In the village before I got insanely sick. I either got food poisoning or gerardia (GIARDIA) from water. I had very bad diarrhea and nausea. When I started feeling weird, I didn’t want to eat anything. Nothing. When I started going to bed, I was about to throw up. Luckily, I did it in a bucket and not much went on the floor. The whole night I was nauseated and threw up about 20 times. All night I was also having diarrhea too. In the morning I still did not want to eat at all. I was a mess all day. I stayed in bed all day mostly watching the Lord of The Rings. That is the one nice thing about being sick, you can do anything and everything. And one of the oddest things about this illness is, coming from my mom saying that that was the worst sick she has ever seen in her life! Wow. She is a doctor, and she is saying that! Anyway, In Kanjin gumpa, we started to realize that our hotel is not very good. So we moved to nurling hotel. This one is very nice and has an attached bathroom! So many things have happened in Nepal so far!
