Working late on research about Ecuadorian mammals, I was delighted when an email from Bob arrived tonight! He is alive but not real well; the doctors in Costa Rica have him back on the road to recovery. He thinks he picked up a nasty food-born bug in Columbia. We should be hearing from him in a few days, but for now he’s resting and regaining his strength.
Whew!

Your instincts told you something wasn’t right and you were right. Our best to Bob.

My body probably would have thrown on the brakes in half that time. When one travels nonstop with little time for recharging body and soul, usually that body and soul will find a way to get some rest.
I was relieved to hear from him.

at least he wasn’t banged over the head and robbed of his belongings and awakened with amnesia! he’s well traveled, so worry about his personal safety wasn’t a big worry, although bad things do happen to good, smart people.
it’s a reminder for all of us to always be smart… we have a safety net of support, but usually not as secure as the one we left behind.
i’m so glad that you’re doing well in cuenca! good luck w/your visa, which sounds like it’s happening really fast! good for you!

Miguelito has such a cute face. 🙂 Wishing Bob all the best.
Playamart - Zeebra Designs said:
ha! i’ll be sure to send your regards to miguelito! he’ll be smiling all day!
Judy said:
I love that turtle face!! And best wishes to your friend Bob on recovery. Food borne bugs can certainly make a person very sick!!
Playamart - Zeebra Designs said:
yes miguelito has a certain charm to be so ancient! i hope to go back and visit him soon!
hopefully bob will bounce back, but it sounds as if his illness was quite grave.

So glad to hear Bob has been located and he is on the road to recovery.

His parents are in CR now, though the last I checked he still hasn’t updated.. That tells me that he’s one ill guy. I sent him an email today and warned that the dengue numbers are high for this time of the year there. He doesn’t need another bad bug while he’s weak.
LuAnn said:
I will be praying for him.
Playamart - Zeebra Designs said:
Thanks! Z

Si; I hope so, but he has yet to be back online to update his blog. That tells me that he’s still quite ill. He’ll be honored that so many people care; thanks! z
