I told Claudio today that I wanted to go to Piura, and tomorrow I'm going to Piura. Well actually Chulucanas. I have to go buy bus tickets tonight and find some insect repellent so that I don't get bitten by mosquitoes. I'm not sure I expected things to be set in motion so quickly. Apparently there is a lot of descriptive data that I can summarize as well as do a behavioral case-control study investigating risk factors. It sounds pretty interesting and I am excited but nervous, regardless I'm off. The next time I write to you I will be in Chulucanas.
