Sleep and food

What you can see in front of the hospital if you get out early 

The internet has been out since I arrived.  Dhen mentioned they had hoped to have me review the hospital’s website, but that is now not possible.  He said yesterday that it will be tomorrow earliest before the problem may be fixed.  It’s nice not to have it.  There is more time for reading, meditating, and reflection.  And now I find myself perhaps with time to write, something I haven’t done much since Kathmandu.

I have slept quite a lot in the last two days.  10 hours last night, 12 the night before.  Typically I sleep only 7 or 8. Part of this is catching up with lost sleep during a night of travel, but perhaps it is also catching up with sleep over a very long semester.

The food here has been rather basic – rice, potatoes and lentils, with a smattering of okra and some kind of gourd.  But mostly potatoes.  Not a bite of fruit since I arrived, nor any tea or coffee.
