Well, its Saturday night in Pune and Christina and i are sitting in the Internet cafe, waiting until the hotel ambassador opens for dinner at seven. we have toyed with the idea of actually going to another restaurant for dinner, but it has been an eventful day and we will no doubt get our fill of rickshaw riding tomorrow on sight-seeing Sunday.
why eventful? well after class this morning and a roti-less lunch due to the gas being out on our stove, we decided to go find the batik store which is near om grocery store, go just past the broken red post box and turn down the alley. When Christina got these directions from Muriel, she did say with a small amount of trepidation, "we have to go down an alley?" and Muriel said, "Yes, but it is not a scary alley." So off we went. the road that om grocery is on is right across from the city dump. today, the neighborhood cattle herd was grazing at the dump (last night they were actually grazing at the empty lot across from our flat). The pig family was not around unfortunately, but as we headed down the road in search of the broken red post box we happened we happened to spot three camels in the distance. (foreshadowing).
christina is writing about the very exciting camel ride that took place later that afternoon on our way to afternoon practice. all I will say is that it more than made up for the fact that the batik store was closed and the Internet cafe service was down earlier.
on the yoga front, I have successfully navigated the yoga equivalent of the red tent. turns out to be quite peaceful forward bending in the back of the room while everyone else is groaning away doing a class that led to simasana!
Jaya is here and it has been fun listening to her life stories.
