May. 25th, 2005 10:15 amConnor had a tough night. He woke up twice with a dirty diaper and dry heaves. He does seem to be feeling much better this morning, though. He had this same tummy problem last Tuesday also.
I finished reading a wonderful travel book. "African Diary" by Bill Bryson is a pretty short book, only 50 pages. He is an excellent writer and I look forward to reading more of his work. Here is a bit from the inside cover: "In the early fall of 2002, famed travel writer Bill Bryson journeyed to Kenya at the invitation of CARE International, the charity dedicated to working with local communities to eradicate poverty around the world. he arrived with a set of mental images of Africa gleaned from television broadcasts of low-budget Jungle Jim movies in his Iowa childhood and a single viewing of the film version of Out of Africa. (Also with some worries about tropical diseases, insects and large predators.) But the vibrant reality of Kenya and its people took over the second he deplaned in Nairobi, and this diary records Bill Bryson's impressions of his trip with his inimitable trademark style of wry observation and curious insight....Like all of this author's work, it can make the reader laugh, think and, especially feel all at the same time."
