These first days have proven to be a wonderful chance to adjust to the new environment. Before we head off on treks around the country, we've tasted a bit of everyday life. This was a typical day where the simple routine is what's comforting and relaxing. The events:
Got up at 6:30 am.
Brushed teeth.
Drank milk tea at 6:45 am.
Swept up leaves which had fallen overnight.
Washed and shaved at the well.
Ate breakfast at 8:00 am.
Hand-washed some clothes.
Sat, read, looked at maps.
Drank 2 beers with Jay's dad before lunch.
Had lunch at 1:30 pm.
Took a nap from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm.
Had afternoon tea and a frozen popsicle.
Waited with cat, dog and others to see the door-to-door fish salesman.
Sat and wrote this at 4:40.
