Aw man, Córdoba was awesome. It really was absolutely beautiful. The culture, the architecture, the amalgamation of religious symbols – what a wonder. Though I think I would have appreciated it a lot more if I hadn’t gotten carsick. I’ve been prone to motion sickness my entire life, and usually when I step out into fresh air, my symptoms are abated. However, on this particularly scorching day, the air was not so much fresh as it was stifling. And because my nausea never went away, I didn’t eat or drink anything all day which caused a spiraling effect of nausea, dehydration, headache, and overall weakness which fed into one another. Unfortunately, this threw my whole system out of whack and I didn’t have an appetite for the rest of the trip. Lost 10 lbs in 10 days.
Pro-tip: Invest in non-drowsy Dramamine. Or regular Dramamine if you feel like taking a nap.
