Tummy explodes, up before daylight still in bathroom when hear alarm go off in banda. Don’t eat much and read all day. Finish one book, start and finish another. Make it to meeting of researchers working in the ‘black cotton’ ecosystem around Mpala. Try some dinner. Chat with a friend who suggests I try an “oral rehydration solution” (=1 tsp salt, 8 tsp sugar in 1 liter water). Thicker and saltier than I expected. But seems to be helping.
