Well, I did start to feel sick about the second day there, but I wasn't sure if it was because my wife was sick just before I left, or if it was a reaction to all the vaccinations I'd had, or to the anti-malaria medicine, or if it was because of something I ate or drank, or because the whole city is a giant burn pit, with the garbage being burned out in the streets and in the landfill, and the air filled with smoke. Yesterday I felt the worst, and today a little better.

Regarding pictures, we hardly left the hotel, and then only in the company of embassy or UN staff, and they were very sensitive to us taking pictures with people in them (I was told, "You don't want to look like a disaster tourist.") so I didn't get as many pictures as I'd hoped. I'll look through them and see if there's anything I can post.
