you're sleeping.

Eventually I will post the same pics here but it's not as easy so it
may be awhile.

Not sure how I can have heartburn at night: the food here doesn't seen
as greasy as American! I guess it's just different. Need antacido. I
went out on my own into the real world today in search of Tums. I
didn't find it. My translator said "antacido". The clerk seemed like
he hadn't heard the word. "How about Tums"? No. Apparently indigestion
is an American problem?

It's mild but it's noticeable at night while I'm sleeping. Well, last.
Night was a 4 HOUR dinner with 5 courses. That's 1.25 courses per
hour. It was s.l.o.w. I couldn't talk to the nice couple next to us
for another second. We started out talking about his experiment on ISS
that investigates blood flow in the brain, and ended up talking about
how they juggle 5 kids. By the end of the night my head hurt and my
shoulders/neck were tight. It takes so much energy from me to be
social. I'd be happy sitting quietly at the table staring at everyone
if it weren't an akward thing to do at a function like that.

I stayed up till 2am and slept till 10am. What?! My body had no idea
what time it was anyway. But it apparently was aware that I ate 5
courses in the hours before I lay horizontal :) One of this courses
was octopus or something with tentacles. I am more willing to try
strange food when in the environment. It wasn't bad! Added it to the
list of snails and raw scallops in France. By the way this food is
better than France :)
