monkeys

monkeys are crazy. i was walking to school this morning and saw a family of at least 10 monkeys walking across rajdoop marg. a few had baby monkeys on their backs and they were just trotting across the street. i got some pics. sorry, please be patient, they will take a few weeks to upload.

spent the morning in meetings. then went out for lunch and to the market. I LOVE THE MARKET. it was quite nice. i have now moved from instant to brewed coffee. yippEE! i bought a coffee pot and some indian coffee. amazing how little things make it feel so much like home. the market is an acquired liking. i presume that once you know where things are, and who to talk to, life becomes quite easy here. already amazing how less stress there is in a daily life, even despite the daily challenges.

i hired jatin to help me with the housework. he works upstairs for my neighbor anju and her family. today we had incomunicato parts I and II. he speaks hindi, i speak english. oh, it is very interesting. he bought some cleaning supplies and really does amazing work. i could speak at length about hiring help in india, it has its own customs and procedures.

after the market and unloading my goods i showered up and went back to school to the director's house for TGIF. hallelujah. international teachers like happy hour as much as i do. catered snacks and bartenders. they really know how to do it up here!

tomorrow we have a tour of delhi! yes! can't wait.
hasta pronto.
