I must have walked past this tree about every other day since I got here, but I only noticed it today. At first I thought it was some kind of parasitic cactus attached to another tree, but a closer look shows that it is entirely cactus. I’ve no idea what kind it is, but it’s amazing the way it has turned to bark at the bottom of the trunk.I finally found proper chocolate today – I had run out of things for lunch so instead of taking some with me, as usual, I went into a shop on the campus. It was a cafe, I suppose, but the kind that only makes its coffee fresh – everything else was pre-prepared. On their shelves was some Galaxy – it’s called ‘Dove’ here, but it’s the same stuff. I was glad, because I’d begun to think no-one here ate chocolate on its own. The Americans seem to prefer chocolate biscuits and so on.
I’m looking forward to getting back to the UK. Only two weeks to go now, which seems amazing.
