And so, the inevitable has happened. Each of us, except Miia, has caught some kind of cold. John was first, then Analea and now me. Hopefully, this cold skips over Miia. We shall see. While I packed the cold medicine for the kids, I left the meds for John and myself at home...in our bathroom closet upstairs and in the cupboard in the kitchen. Last on my list of things to do before we leave for Europe, "Pack cold medicine." And so here we are and there, in Philo, lies the cold medicine. Of course, it's not like we can't get anything for our colds here. There are Farmacias everywhere. Different from Walgreen's or other pharmacies at home, they sell what pharmacies probably originally and primarily sold - medicine with some baby products, shampoo and dental care items thrown in. They're convenient and some are even open all night. But, I can't get the meds I'm used to like Tylenol or the different nasal decongestants - Tylenol cold, Sudafed, etc...
