There are always hiccups along the way. No matter how hard you may try to plan something out something small will make you need to change your plan. This happened today.
I woke up this morning to the sound of my stomach, grumbling and groaning. Not good. I am only in Kigali for a short period of time and it is supposed to be my time for adventure. I attempted to shake of the sickness and tell myself I can go on.
I made it downtown Kigali via moto and met up with Loran and Desiree. We ended up going to a bookshop and a handy craft store. I was clutching on to my water bottle as if I was hanging off a cliff and it is the one thing that can save me. First water bottle drained so I cracked the seal on the second.
As a moved through the handy craft store I couldn't hold back the dreaded feeling that I would not be able to continue on with my day. I forced a smile and tried to laugh it off but who was I kidding. I reluctantly walked to edge of the curb to begin the routine of bargaining with a moto driver; I was going home. I stopped by a grocery store and picked up something to nibble on. I chucked my back pack onto the couch and an opened another water bottle. This was my vacation?
I had gone a month without incident. I guess it was bound to happen at some point. I need to be prepared to adapt to the situation no matter what it may be. Couldn’t this have waited until a day I didn’t want to go into work? Oh well. Moving on.
Thinking about Ethiopian food tonight. Gonna tough it out and go for the experience. Tomorrow is a new day, and a new adventure.
