A Home Massage and a Beer!

So Wednesday we went to the doctor (the same one that Evie had three years ago). She was given an antibiotic but her BP was fine and no fever. In the afternoon Pastor Dutt came to visit. We talked about the theology program here - students about 50 % female and 50% male. It is a Bachelor's degree and they are thinking about adding a DMin. Pastor Dutt has a PHD in Education and is actually from India.
After our tea together he gave me a lift on his motorcycle to the market so that I could get chicken soup for dinner. It seems that the traffic is about 1/3 petro cars and the rest motorcycles or battery powered busses.
Thursday I treated myself to an in home massage. The masseuse goes to people's home and gives an hour massage for $10. It was a wonderful treat.
After that Evie and I took a cab to the market that Evie had gone to before. It had changed somewhat so we weren't sure at first that it was the right place, but as we walked to the restaurant Nina recognized Evie immediately and ushered us into the restaurant. We had a very American meal of burger, french-fries and beer. The beer was mine - not Evie's!
Haven't heard from the trekkers but hopefully no news is good news.
