Despite what you may have heard, I was sober.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this postI said I'd put it online, and I did.
The last night in Managua was a bit hazy due not to ALCOHOL, but because Bonnie had given me a couple of Benadryl (or whatever) for my itchy legs which were covered in massive amounts of bizarre bug bites.
"It might make you a little drowsy," she'd said.
Yes, that, and completely confused. Under the influence of Benadryl I think I said something meaningless to Shannon during our prayer partner/gift exchange, and mumbled a prayer that I can only shudder at. I don't know what I said.
This is a video of me showing Chad how to operate my camera, shortly before I collapsed into a drooling sleep on my bed. He would use it the following morning to shoot a video of Alfredo singing. I would be sleeping since my flight was leaving later, so I was entrusting the camera to him.
Granted, I may have been a little excessive in my directions.
"First, release the velcro closure on the case. Then, carefully extract the camera. Gently remove the lens cap..."
I have a vague memory of it, though I do know my legs did not itch. I also recall ignoring Chad's obvious snideness AND DISRESPECT FOR THE INFIRM and continuing on with detailed advice for using the camera, such as suggesting it be directionally pointed at the subject.
