The Day Off

So, yesterday was Sunday and we had the day off. They took us to this temple and then to a river and streams for a picnic. It was so beautiful and peaceful. The water was actually clean and very crisp b/c it was the mountain water. The flow was very strong. We stopped at these little streams that seemed to be man made for irrigation....oh I loved it. We ended up having a water fight and everyone, all 38 of us, were tackled or walked down into the water...we were wet head to toe. But it was hot enough that it was relaxing...

Then in the evening we went to McLoad for shopping...that is the adjacent city where the Dal Lamai actually lives...it is much more tourist friendly...basically they have tourist shopping. We went to this place called Nicks which is an Italian restaurant...oh my goodness was it delicious...it helps that all we have really had for two weeks is Indian food.

I thourghly enjoyed the day off and I look forward to the next weekend where I get to have more fun. Or when I get to go shopping again...the 15 minute taxi ride only costs about $2.50...amazing.

Today was back to school...it was a little chaotic. The children were fighting and not listening...which is oh so much fun when they don't understand a word you are saying and the same back....ah, well this afternoon we have a class on classic Indian dance....it should be interesting.
