These lanes reflect the hooves of horses. We follow these parallel, multiple lanes over flat, grassy ground. After about 45 minutes we approach a shallow river and cross it on horseback. Beyond, a tall, mud-brick gate and the lodge with a red tile roof can be seen. There is a kitchen in each building, just a shelf with a few inches of mud on which a fire can be built.
Some rooms seem to have beds, others are empty and abandoned.
Tonight we have fresh killed chicken, french fries, and rice. I tried moving it around but it didn't help. This a.m. I awoke with some diarrhea and took Pepto Bismol. Getting up, one had to put on extra layers of clothes to stay warm. Now its warm and I have on a t-shirt.
