Doxycycline - Day 1

So, welcome to my first blog. Basically the reason behind this blog is so that anyone who wants to can keep up with what I'm doing while I'm in Ecuador on my Study Abroad. I leave for Ecuador one week from today, and I figured that was a good time to start my blog. It also coincides with the first day I get to take Doxycycline, the malaria pill that I have to take everyday from now until a month after I get back. Its a fun little pill that results in extra sunburns, possible esophagus rupture and which only prevents one strand of malaria. But this is better that the almost $500 dollar alternative with no side effects option (I spent like $30) , and much better that the hallucinatory dream inducing variety of malaria protection. Anyway, I'll be posting pictures and videos from my study and I'll include a more detailed description of just what the heck I'll be doing there in future entries, but for now, I think this will suffice.
