I lingered in bed this morning, finally rising to have some coffee, ibuprofen, and a hot shower.   I think the hot water on my back helped.  I watched some of "Arabs Got Talent" on a TV station from Bahrain.  My poolside lunch was for maximum nutritional and medicinal purposes: two 60cl Star beers and some peanuts they put on the table.  By then I was not only feeling much better, but I was keeping hydrated as well!

I brought my laptop out with me, and worked on a presentation for this coming Wednesday until the battery was dry.  A rather pleasant way to work.  Peter and his wife happened to pass by, and we chatted for a bit.

I was feeling well enough for a walk.  I started with the “Artisan Village” which is on the hotel grounds.  They sell beads and carvings and art, much of which is indistinguishable from what you’d see in other Sub-Saharan countries.  I wandered the rest of the property, ventured in to the city for a bit, and returned as the sun was thinking about setting.
