A Sunday in the City

Sundays are an amazing day here in Kolkata. For one day out of the week the streets become easier to navigate and you can walk quite freely down the sidewalk without too much fear of running over someone. Today was no exception. With little to do most Sundays since that is our official day off from the school, Jay and I spent the morning roaming the streets looking for a little action. The walk was long and hot, but we rewarded ourselves at the end by checking out the "starbucks" of Kolkata called Barista where I sampled a delicious mango smoothie...absolute tastey deliciousness! With the remainder of the afternoon ahead of me, I think I'll now head home for a cat nap of sorts.

On a different note...my bag has arrived! FINALLY! almost two weeks later we have been reunited, and not a moment too soon. I was running out of clean underwear and I am not ready to experience laundry yet. That my friends is for another day...but certainly not on a Sunday in the city.

I'm spending Sunday in Wapakoneta in the garden....... peaceful. As you know, we don't have to worry here about the sidewalks being too crowded!! Lots of good news for you this w/end....... you're out of the hospital and your bag is finally with you. Hooray!! Take good care of yourself, Erin...... Love from, Mom
