The bus trip wasn't quite so bad this time - at least not as cold - but had at least three people being repeatedly violently ill - not exactly pleasant. Got to Er Rachidia a couple hours late at a quarter to six. Quickly caught a morning bus in to Goulmima, and by seven we were home! I took a five hour nap.
Amy went off to take care of business (visiting friends, preparing lessons, class, etc.). I spent the afternoon finishing the character program that I've already finished at least three times, and trying to get caught up on email. In the late evening I went to Goulmima's (rather new) Internet cafe. It was very crowded and I could only get a machine for about 40 minutes. It was so slow that I wasn't even able to get to a single email message!
After Amy got back from class we cooked diner and had a bottle of wine - very nice. Upstairs the door had been left open and thousands of flies had taken residence. I tried to chase them out by swinging a sarong around - some success, until I caught the light bulb (bare hanging from a wire) and it swung up and hit the ceiling - exploding glass everywhere. The flies won.
