Journal Entry:
Spent most of the night awake and entertained by the amazing rains (had to be many inches). After last nights rains the weather was partially sunny, but unbelievably oppressive with the humidity. Didn't do much. Goofed off in my room until it was nearly time to go pick up my passport with the new visa from the Gambian High Commission. Got the passport, then spent a big chunk of the afternoon getting my journal up to date and adding a perpetual calendar (because I wanted to know the day of the week for a date next year). Basically just goofing off to avoid having to face either the weather or the hassles outside. Had diner (chwarma) and a few beers in the cafe associated with the hotel.
