Just wanted to keep you informed of where we are and what we are doing. At this point we are not doing much at all as Chris contracted Dengue fever. We thought it was the regular flu as he did not have a high temperature, but his bones ached and he had a low fever. He started getting a rash and then we knew it was probably Dengue so we visited the Dr. and then the pharmacy for electrolits, medicine etc. We knew that it was pandemic here in the State of Sonora and Sinaloa, but since the temperatures are now cooler it should be on the decrease. Here in Alamos it seems that every family has been infected and some children have died from it. Chris' temperature was not high because he has always been taking calcium and zinc, but we made one mistake and that was he took Asprin for the fever and headache and that can cause bleeding. It should have only been tylenol. Learn something every day! There is a lot of information available about Dengue fever on the Internet. It is a malaria virus and it does take some time to get your energy back to normal.
We will be staying here in Alamos until we are certain everything is fine and we have the urge to move on. We are very comfortable here, have many friends, Doctors, and a small town where we can buy everything we need. The weather is great with clear, blue, sunny skies and temperatures between 26 and 30 C every day. The nights drop down to between 6 and 10'C.
Up to the time of Dengue we had been playing tennis 3 times a week with our friend, Jinny Combs, biking out to see the Thompsons, walking the arroyos birding. Now it is reading and taking life easy.
