    I’ve been officially traveling now 23 days … but in a “foreign land” 19 … and I’ve been pushing pretty hard. I had plans to go on a day trip today but after almost a ten mile day yesterday, I was wiped out!! I decided to cancel everything and just spend a day in my hotel only going out to get food. It was a much needed break - for my body and my mind.

    I keep meticulous records of what I’m doing and seeing, as well as detailed financial records of all I’m spending … and all of that needed updating. So my day was spent relaxing on my bed in my comfy air conditioned hotel room “working”. Awww … my feet and lower back thanked me!

    So today apparently was all about rest … and food!

    I’ve gotten VERY tired of non-breakfast food for breakfast … and there’s a Starbucks on the corner next to my hotel … so I’ve given in these last few days and had breakfast sandwiches in the morning! Oh, they are wonderful!!! Just like home. Sometimes you just gotta do it.

    I also found a cute little bakery right next to the Starbucks, which is a very rare find here, - and have splurged as well.

    Then went out at night to Bayi Food street and had an experience. Tried three different new foods - two were great finds, one not so much.
