Today has been fantastically lazy. :) The trip to the game preserve has been bumped for another couple days. Our schedule of events today was something like this:

8:00: wake up, read
9:00: breakfast
9:30: edit photos until laptop battery dies, recharge
11:30: read
12:30: lunch (beef + rice)
1:00: return to editing photos
2:00: read outside in the yard
2:45: find ants
2:46: read inside
3:15: find bird in Thandie's room
3:20: free bird (after taking photos, of course...)
3:25: read + finish Harry Potter book 7
4:30: back to editing photos
5:00: Snack (Cherry Plum drink + Lays potato chips)
5:30: shoot sunset from the yard

What a wonderful day. It's so nice to just be able to relax.

Well, the rest of the day ended just as lazily as it began. Dinner was chombo (tilapia), cauliflower casserole, potatoes, and nsima (a thickened maize mixture that you eat with your hands). Everything was amazing! All of our food here has been so tasty. It's still foreign to Nichole and I to have three set meals a day at the table, but we're catching on. More reading before bed... good night.

Here are some photos I took around the house today...
