Malaria?!?!?!

Wow, what a long, frustrating week it has been. But, I finally get a 'day off', but only because we are not sure if I have malaria or not.

I have had one positive and one negative malaria result. I started showing symptoms last week, but basically put it down to jet lag and hectic work schedule. But then came the hallucinations, which in all honesty, I rather enjoyed. But, I have shown a positive and a negative result over the week, so the doctor's solution to this..."try drinking...gin or vodka is best, but beer and wine will also do"...I should mention the UN doctor here is from the former Soviet Union, so I think she recommends alcohol for everything...but doctor's orders must be followed! No need to worry, as I really don't feel all that bad, so who knows...but no matter, even if it is malaria, it was caught early, so no effects to be had from this! So, going over to the Canadian embassy housing to have follow my doctor's orders, and play a cribbage/euchure tournament for the day!

I have uploaded some more photos...I realize that as I am the one always taking the photos when on mission that I am never in them....and I don't have much from the northern states, as cameras are kind of banned..in fact, it is a law in all of Nigeria (i found this out the hard way), that I must request permission from the President of Nigeria to publish any photos...they just want money out of people and want to make sure that no one profits from anything in Nigeria without them getting a cut of it!! God bless Nigeria!
