Room and Board

I was given a hotel room in the university conference center.  There was no internet and no air conditioning (and it was quite hot), and very loud music from a nearby church permeated the room.  I decided to go to dinner with Gbegna and deal with my lodging situation later.  Dinner was rice and chicken with a very peppery spicy sauce, which I didn’t touch for fear of getting sick from the unfamiliar spices and ingredients.  After dinner, I found much more acceptable accommodations at the Camaroon Hotel, which was equivalent to a Best Western.  But unfortunately, still no internet.  After a long 2 days of travel and a welcomed second meal of plain rice, I got to bed at 2 a.m.
