The Kwaj Crud


Less than a week on the island and we have all been hit with the Kwaj crud.  It sounds like everyone experiences different symptoms (probably depending on what is going around) but for us we are experiencing cold like symptoms.  While the cold symptoms aren't too terrible, we are all really tired and feeling under the weather.  I knew we would come down with something as we just traveled half way around the world.  People come from all over and bring their little germs with them and sometimes your body just doesn't have the right memory cells to fight an illness off quickly.  On the bright side, we are all adding memory cells to our defense system which will help us fight off similar germs in the future!
