One in a million

I just waited 2.5 hours on the hotel patio for the friendly staff to cook the bowl of tropical beans that was supposed to serve as my dinner. I literally put in the order at 6 pm sharp...it was 8 27 when the beans came....(luckily I had my computer to pass the time)... Just as I was about to dig in, one of the many bats flying around came in for a low approach at my head, and as I ducked, i saw a tiny splash in the bowl of beans just as the bat passed inches over the top of the bowl....be it a regurgitated bug or a bat turd, it was a hell of a shot. As a result, I will be passing on the beans tonight.... I just had to laugh, because you can't make this stuff up. Welcome to Africa.
