As many of you know my stingray bite was super painful the first couple of hours, then the next 10 days it was fine, and caused minimal trouble. But all of a sudden about 2 weeks ago it flared up, and I was unable to walk, and ran quite a high fever for about 5 days. Fortunately Shannon had antibiotics, and was able to stop the infection before it got past my knee. For the last week though it has pretty much been better, and I have loved going to the beach again with the family. But now Intrepid has been running a cyclical fever that we thought was Malaria, fortunately it was not, (we tested him), maybe it is dengue fever? But he is also doing well now. So as I have it figured, we are set for the next couple of months, and should not have any more health issues. It is incredible though how fast these infections can get out of control!
We had a fantastic time at a local school fundraiser today. There was a "local string band” that played music. (And nearly every major, village has a "local string band"). They had fantastic local food, and it was wonderful watching how the locals interact.
We plan to stay here for a couple more days, and then head over to Ambrym to look into the bubbling caldron of lava. The volcanoes are very alive and active here. If you want to see eruptions this is a great place. There is always plenty of lava!
