We are definitely in a Christmas Eve Eve frame of mind about leaving. It isn't quite the last day, but almost the last day, so you can't quite get excited about 'tomorrow/ Christmas/ departure' because there's still a whole other day left.
on the other hand, it is sort of like Christmas Eve because there's a big Gurupurnima celebration tonight at the institute. Gurupurnima, as I understand it is a day where all our teachers are honored, so the festivities start at 4:15 with Geeta doing a sutra recitation and then Prasahant will give a talk and beyond that I don't really know what will happen.
We decided not to go to swim at LeMeridian, partly because it is rainy and partly because we didn't want to be across town and have to rush back to get ready to go to the celebration. Also, last night, we had a high swank factor dining experience at la pizzeria. this is Mary and Eddy's favorite restaurant. It was really good, it would be a very good Italian place even without the 30 days of Indian food that preceded the experience. the only downside was the "tandoor" style brownie that Christina and I got for dessert (which I believe she will blog about), but the asparagus was a real highlight as was the pesto dish and the sundried tomato spaghetti I got. And Marj was right. It was nice to eat some garlic bread with crunch. we also sat near four very young teenage girls out on the town and it was fun to watch their interactions as they ate cheese nachos (they also have a mexican menu) and ordered two desserts!!! .
Well, that's about all to update for now.
more tomorrow.
