Up 5:00 packed up, breakfast at 5:30, on the road by 6:15. \u00a0Stopped at 7:40 so the drivers can eat. \u00a0The country outside of Tana is much nicer. \u00a0The mountains and hills with the staircased rice patties are right out of a picture book. \u00a0We did see another two taxi busses on their sides. \u00a0Hope no one was hurt. \u00a0Did lunch after about 3 hours.\u00a0The architecture of the buildings is interesting with very small two story buildings. \u00a0The upstairs is for people, downstairs for animals. \u00a0Lost service on the iPad by the time I got to CAS. \u00a0It was also dark by the time got there. \u00a0There was confusion about where we were to put the tents. \u00a0We ended up upstairs in a building so the tents are more of privacy issues without protection needed from the elements. \u00a0Of course there are no lights in the building either so tents were setup with our head lamps on. \u00a0After the tents were set up, we were back down to the eating area. \u00a0It is just a roof with 5 12V lights. \u00a0Dinner was rice and beans with a few things thrown in. \u00a0It was simple but actually rather good. \u00a0Played a few card games before calling it a night. \u00a0The toilet is just a hole in the floor. \u00a0Figures, as I unbutton my pants, the button pops off and almost into the hole. \u00a0The belt will be fine and I do have a spare pants, maybe even a spare button. No shower tonight, just a wipe down with a baby wipe. \u00a0The whole thing was made worse by no Internet connection. \u00a0After dinner, Libby said hers now had a signal. \u00a0I checked and got a weak one from where we pitched the tents. \u00a0I got my mail and traded just a couple of text messages with Antje. \u00a0Even got a text from Josh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
