Yesterday, I was planning to devote most of the day to uploading my photos from Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) lucha libre event. Sundays are usually fairly quiet, given that popularity of that Jesus fellow around here, so I planned to make it a pretty calm day on the internet. I made it to one of the few cafés that happen to be open on a Sunday in order to upload the photos.
Unfortunately, something else took priority.
I’ve visited Mexico several times in the last three years, with all visits void of the dreaded Montezuma’s Revenge. I also assumed that, if one gets this rather infamous affliction, it would simply yield a generous scatological result. What I wasn’t expecting were the chills, the fever, and the most painful stomach cramps I have ever experienced to go along with a rather profound gastrointestinal… well, let’s just call it a frequent evacuation.
Despite the café having the cleanest bathroom in Oaxaca, I had to call it a day.
So now I am on some over-the-counter antibiotics for the next five days. According to pharmacist, these particular antibiotics also cure gonorrhea, pneumonia, and a bunch of other stuff that I really hope I never get. Luckily, the antibiotics seems to be working, and I am no longer wishing for Mexico’s version of Dr. Kevorkian to relieve me of my pains.
So back to the AAA event - it was awesome. Our front row seats got us extremely close to the action, and I was finally able to get a photo of myself with my favorite luchadore, Adolfo “La Parka” Tapia. All in all, it was an excellent time, and if you have a chance to see AAA lucha libre in action, you won’t be disappointed. Photos are now up and available here.
I think there is a name for that: fire-rhea. Pucker up! Best of luck.
