Pretend that you're doing fine

Some times I don't feel well. It might be a headache. It might be a cold. I might feel like I want to lie down, pull a blanket over my head and wait for it all to end. These happen. And not necessarily at the most convenient time. What happens when you're on vacation and you feel like crap? Fake it. Block it out of your memories and hope that the photos will tell a more pleasant lie. For instance, I was feeling horrible at times on our Peru / Ecuador trip. Laura even offered to take me to the hospital at one point. Let's just say that it wasn't good, and the altitude didn't help out either. But me looking like I'm about to bring up a lung doesn't add anything to a vacation, nor the pictures. That's not what **I** want to remember about my own vacation. So instead of saying "Say cheese" when Laura wanted to take a picture, she'd say "Look healthy!". It worked, somewhat.

Between photos I was doubled over and coughing my lungs out

This might be old news. I could have posted this a dozen times by now but I'm having a bit of a difficult time right now. But you wouldn't really know it from the pictures. ;-)
