So I got screwed by the Paris Metro and had to walk from L´École Militaire to République at 2 in the morning--it was fun though, I was with some very drunk architects I´d met in the park--and I woke up the next morning with a sore throat. I would have just slept all day but it wasn´t that bad, so I went to Austerlitz to book my train to San Sebastian (where I´m writing this) and there I just started to feel awful, so I went back to lie down for a while, and that night just took the Metro down back towards the Eiffel Tower to see it at night again before I left. It wasn´t a late night. The next day I felt awful, but it was my last in the hostel and check-out time was around 10:30 so I had to get out of bed. I wandered around with a couple of roommates from D.C. but by the end of the day I felt terrible. The train ride overnight, sleeping badly in a reclining seat, didn´t help. Now I´m in San Sebastian for one night (hopefully, I´m off to the train station to try and reserve an overnight to Madrid for tomorrow) and then back on the train and in Madrid for (at least) two.

Anyway, long story short: I feel terrible, my throat is sore and I have just no energy. I´ve been taking multivitamins since the first day I felt ill but they don´t seem to be helping much. ¿Anyone have any ideas? I really don´t want to feel awful for the rest of this trip, or have to head home early.

Thanks for any thoughts!
