Day 2 and I'm sick as a dog

Okay that italian dog doesn't look sick, I just liked his haircut. He
was so well behaved in the parking lot outside our hotel while his
master loaded his golf clubs into the trunk of the car.

Anyway, back to me. Day 2 and I'm sick as a dog. Still have not slept
since Sunday night and it's Wednesday I think... Was up all night sick,
sweating, my heart racing, I could feel my heartbeat thru my entire
body. Not sure if it's just the continuation of my jetlag or if I am
sick. I'm hot and cold. So hot I sweat and so cold I shiver and get
goosebumbs. Yeah not good.

So, today is the climb to the Madonna Ghishallo. I will be climbing in
the support van with the lunch. Oh and I still haven't been able to eat
anything really. Had a little lunch yesterday along with some dried
fruit but, the dinner I brought home last night (full story later)
didn't stay down and didn't taste as good on it return trip either.
Gruesome!

If today wasn't the Ghisallo I would os just stayed in bed. However, I
came all this way and there is no way I'm not going to see the church
for myself. Then I can go back to sleep.

On the positive side
1. I have rode my bike in and around lake Como Italy.
2. I am going to the Maddona Ghisallo today
3. I will see the Giro Lombardia on Saturday
4. My tour guides are very understanding

Going to BCC Pamela on this post to say on my internet charges.
