This is potentially dangerous rice.
6:00am Rise (to make breakfast)
I drag myself out of bed and down to the kitchen and put the coffee on. Chris joins me at 6:30 and we quickly get the breakfast together. While the sitting is going on we find time to chat and I decide to get my guitar.
8:15am Breakfast
I play Cielo. It feels like a good solid thing to do. The Ovation sounds lovely.
1:00pm Lunch
Do not eat the rice. It is funny-smelling rice. This is potentially dangerous rice. The copious rest of the left-over buffet is perfectly alright, though. Yum.
2:30pm PM w. Hernan
4:00pm Tea
4:45pm PM w. Fumi
5:50pm PM w. Shinku
7:00pm Dinner
I play the NST arrangement of Iodine as I did in Los Molinos. This is coincidence, so next time I suppose it will be enemy action. Still, it has a powerful effect for me.
9:30pm Final Meeting
Everybody speaks, including me. I like to include me occasionally.
10:45pm Into Town to go to a bar
As a non-drinker I am ordered a tall glass of something that tastes a bit like sweet carrot juice, but white. It's so delicious that I order another one. Two glasses are, perhaps a bit much, though not to much to prevent me from having an ice cream (coffee and dulce de leche double decker). Ice cream at 1:00 in the morning. Very civilised.
I hand my camera round and many embarrassing photographs are taken which I'm salting away for a future date when I might need to indulge in blackmail. I walk back to the house and crash out.
