[speakeasy]

After swimming in Ipanema, my stomach felt upset for several days after, even came closing to losing my lunch a few times. Stomach was really quite a mess for the first 6 days. I was body surfing and you swallow quite a bit of water. I kind of suspected that may have had something to do with it. One other guy in my hostel was sick pretty bad soon after arriving. He thinks that some rice and beans did him in, but he might have swallowed some sewage water too.
