On waking up Saturday morning the pain was still there. I took some antibiotics and thought that would help. We went to the airport first to pick up our tickets to New Delhi (where I am going on Wednesday to see the TajMahal - yep that's right). For some reason it takes about 14 hours to purchase a plane ticket at the airport. Standing in line was not helping my stomach situation. I was almost finished with my tickets when I realized things were going downhill very quickly for me. A young boy came up to the desk I was standing at and stood very close t
