Ok now forget it, and never mention it again....
Argh, well yes, turns out my bedbugs were actually fleas. Could anything be worse you might ask? The answer of course is yes. For one my brand new sleeping bag is infested with fleas. The dermatologist told me to leave the sleeping bag in the sun for a few days. Ok not a problem, not a problem at all, that is until a bird decided to fly over my roof and shit on my bag! Ok aside from that I was painting a mural yesterday, slipped on the chair and got paint alllll over my arms and hands. Not a problem right? Just wash it off. Nope, there is not hot water anywhere and soap and cold water just doesnt cut it. The plan today is to buy some alcohol and spend a few hours peeling the paint off. As misery does love company, I must note that Nili also has fleas and is also covered in white paint.
So as I said to my friends here, this is the bottom of my bell curve, everything must go up from here. Knock on wood.
On a positive note, I must say that I have the greatest friends here. When the bugs first started attacking I thought I had picked up some rare disease. Luckily for me we were still in the middle of a 4 day strike and the doctor was an hour away. Nili and Nia insisted on walking with me the whole 2 hours and they were very suppported about my fleas. Then that night Harri insisted I share her bed with her, as mine was full of fleas. It turns out its not just my bed, as much as the whole house, but still the gesture was really nice.
So thats the story. Oh ya! We (Nia, Nili, Harry, Pepe, and I) booked the Inca trail yesterday. We decided to do the entire 4 day hike. We are all a bit nervous as Nili´s guidebook says that parts of the inca trail ¨leave even the most serious hikers gasping for air,¨but we all agree its one of those things you just haveee to do. The backpacking adventure begins on Thursday when we catch a bus up to Trujillo. I am super super excited and hope to be defleaed by then.
Peace out and enjoy your clean beds.

oh no! My friend had just moved into a new apartment, w/ new mattress and everything. She got bitten to death that night by the fleas left over from the dirty hippy who lived there before!! They had to bomb the place twice to manage the infestation. Sound like you are having quite the adventure, tho. Keep up the pics;)
Well, look at the bright side ... now you and Rusty van Fincklestein can connect on a whole new level!
I just watched a show about these German marathoners running the inca trail (actually it was on today so its a weird concidence you mentioned it)!!! They were in shape, ran about 10-20km a day of the trail, and still had altitude problems!!!! But knowing my nikkibaba and her uncanny athletic ability she'll do great!!! Have fun either way chica! miss you, stay safe!!!!! Oh and real quick. I start my spanish class on Wed!!!!
