Right Page:
Sickness is wearing on me. Today was the much anticipated trip to see the monarch butterflies in a high forest in the state of Michoacan. 10,000 thousand feet high. I couldn't even walk the first 100 yards without being totally out of breath. Very disappointing and depressing. It's depressing to be on a vacation that I've so looked forward to to be so uninterested and unwilling to climb, hike, walk over cobblestones, because I simply can't breathe and have a lot on my mind. My traveling days such as they have been are over. My travel will need to be less ambitious, not that this is exactly grueling. - Rights
