And So It Begins...


Camera around the neck, rockin the shades, travel bag...Could I scream tourist any louder?

It was an early morning due to a terrible dream that may have been caused by Malarone (malaria prevention meds), my strange sleeping quarters (a sleepy-time sack) or quite possible the excessive Indian heat. All in all, Skype prevented an all out breakdown where I spend 45 minutes online with Mama and Dad for a bit. Soon after, Kyle surprised me with an email and was so excited to hear that he is NOT getting transferred and has started the treacherous, yet hopeful job search.

BREAKFAST was doable this morning, providing me with some protein to start the day. What they call an omelet here is everything American minus the cheese. Also, MICA has been very accommodating to my stubborn, picky tastes. A plate of toast was all I needed to lift my spirits on this early morning. (Also, while in town yesterday I happened to stumble upon peanut butter, Kellogg's Cornflakes, goldfish and granola bars. However, I was a little leery post-purchase as I made sure to check each expiration date...trust me, it was necessary.)

Research lecture. More Skype. Down time before we depart MICA for Ahmedabad Old City. Starting at 4:30,  our adventure will take us on a walk touring the city followed by dinner at Agashaye, a visit to a market and whatever else may come our way. 

To not being so rigid....

Hopeful.

I had to laugh about part of your posting...I think you know which part. I think your strength is starting to emerge Sarah Skelnik! I love you high as the sky, deep as the sea. Mama
