The stupid things I do

SOOOO it seems as though I broke a ligament in my foot.

What does this mean...well first it means that I can put absolutely no pressure on my foot without intense pain. Second, it means I am stuck in Iguassu, unable to visit the waterfalls, for the next 3 or 4 days. And third, it means that my trip may be cut short rather than extended.

How did it happen you ask...welllll I fell down one stair. What happened was a big group of us, 15 or so, had gone to a bar/ dance place. It was around 4 in the morning, I had had a few drinks, nothing excessive, and a group of us decided to go back to the hostel. Nili was walking ahead with this guy she was interested in but who I had the feeling was kind of a sketch ball. I was walking with this guy from Amsterdam, talking about shat. All of a sudden I realize Nili is gone. Being the good/ responsible friend that I am, I assume she is off being raped or something and I freak out. At this point I also realize that I am completely lost, and that niether me nor Amsterdam boy know where we are going (Nili was with the locals) After a while we find our way home, and I go running looking for Nili. The guy at the desk tells me she is not there and to go to sleep. I refuse and run into the hostel in the pitch black where I fall down literally one stair and break my ass. I later find Nili watching TV (turns out local guy was a sketch ball, long story) I considered strangling her for having ditched me but I decided not to.

Anyway...The moral of the story is my foot hurts like a bitch, though its much better today than yesterday.

Happy Thanksgiving by the way....
