Just when I thought that I was getting on Tanzania time, I found myself frustrated by not being able to fall asleep last night no matter what I tried. Two cups of sleepy time tea and a melatonin didn't help. I don't know what time it was when I finally did fall asleep but it was very very late. Then I apparently fell asleep so soundly that I slept right through my alarm. I ended up being woken by a phone call from reception asking if I would be coming down for breakfast. When I looked at my watch I saw it was 9:15! And breakfast ended at 9:30. So I very quickly got dressed and went down and got my breakfast, embarrassed that I slept in so late, then afterward headed back to my room and changed into my bathing suit, and ended up spending pretty much the entire day sitting out by the pool. I was careful to use sunscreen and to stay out of the sun, since we are equatorial here, and I remember the last time I got in the sun in an equatorial region when we were in Malaysia, and I had the crap burn out of me, and I didn't want to do that again! It was a lovely day of reading and relaxing. At around 4:00 I came back to the room, took my shower, and watched a little TV, then headed out to dinner just after 6:00 and had another lovely local disc called Tanzanian chicken. It was remarkably similar to the beef stew I had last night but it was delicious! I made an appointment for a massage for tomorrow and came back to the room with high hopes that I'll be able to sleep a little bit better tonight and get to breakfast much earlier in the morning. And absolutely gorgeous day weatherwise, about 80° and partly cloudy with low humidity. Absolutely gorgeous! Very nice to be relaxed, but starting to feel a little lazy. No doubt I will be fully rested in time for the horse safari. I cracked open my little bit of bourbon that I brought with me, and had bought a little bottle of ginger ale at dinner, so I'm having a perfect evening! I love you darling! Good night!
