There is no joking about the “revenge” in Montezuma’s! Morning started with a bit of the runs that quickly transformed into waterfalls. Ok been there before so not so bad then for 6 hours waves of stomach cramps. The pain was so bad I had to stay in bed. At noon I thought a swim might help so made it down to the pool but the bright sunshine turned everything into a white haze. Next were severe chills and fatigue followed by vomit attacks. My diet was water to avoid dehydration as any liquid I ingested was quickly spewed out. The thought of any food with onions and tomato sauce was unthinkable. May I never see Mexican food again! By midnight all that was left was sheer exhaustion and why don’t we say “wet gas”. I asked for a 06:30 wake up call for Saturday as we head back to Toronto. As in true Mexican fashion it never happened. Thank dear God I made it home without any resurgence of the revenge. What did me in? I played by the rules and still got dinged. Was it that damn beef and onions in tomato sauce?
