Rember the sunburn......

From San Ignacio, the long gasless crossing and then El Rosario and Mama Espinosa's for dinner and on to San Quentin.
We had agreed that we would get up early and head to Ensenada to do a bit of shopping then cross the border and head up to Palm Springs were we were going to meet up with some friends from home. So we are up early and almost packed and when John says he has a bit of a stitch in his side. I say take some deep breaths and walk around a bit and you'll be fine..... and 30 seconds later he is doubled over in pain and losing the dinner we had the night before.
So of course I freak and we think it might be appendicitis and then I really freak and with my bad Spanish I am trying to find a doctor. Luckily there is a clinic right around the corner.....but of course being in a little town in Mexico they only speak Spanish and my Spanish is okay when it comes to everyday stuff but to have to deal with doctors and nurses.......
Down the street is a restaurant and hotel that is owned by Ray, who speaks perfect spanish and english...I drag him down to the clinic to translate for me.......and John because he drinks only Coke and had a bad sunburn and has been riding a motorcycle for a week is severely dehydrated and has developed crystals in his kidneys....painful but not life threatening....but I am going to kill him for not drinking enought water and putting me through that.
So he spent a day and a half in hospital and we are off again the next afternoon and spend the that night in El Centro on the US side of the border. Not that I am happy to be in the US, but at least if anything goes wrong at least I can understand what is going on.
