Tuan and Caitlin for a Day!

So, I didn't volunteer today. Instead I hung out with Tuan and Caitlin, who were back for just today in between taking the train from Varanasi to Puori. I kinda did hang out with them, but they spent a lot of time calling and emailing, in which I spent doing what I normally do when I have nothing else to do...nothing. So I read a little of The Message, seeing as how I finished Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince about 3 or 4 days ago, and outright refuse to by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows no sooner than 48 hours before I leave. I know if I buy it sooner than that, I will have read it by the time Caitlin and Tuan get back, and I won't have anything to do on the way home.

So I chilled with them a little today, heard tales from beyond Kolkata, and ate lunch with Caitlin at Super Fried Chicken. That was pretty much the extent of today...not much else happened.

Yesterday, on the other hand, was rather eventful. Or yesterday evening, I guess. Thursdays are Volunteers Days, so we get the day off. I didn't do anything yesterday...I slept in, and did nothing, and slept some more, then I had lunch (it was excellent, by the way...cold juice and a fruit bowl with muesli from JoJo's, except that my fear of associating the dump smell with something I like has managed to wrap itself wonderfully around Papaya...it tastes the exact same way that the dump smells, it SUCKS). That evening, I was headed for Super-Fried Chicken for some Veggie Pakuras, and I saw Amina and some of her friends. I ended up going with them to Peter Cat on Park Street for dinner that cost over 3 times more than a nights stay at Hotel Maria, but oh, it was SOOOO GOOD! After that, we walked into Flurry's, which is this amazing desert place, but we looked around and decided that we are going to go there sometime this weekend. I'm also taking Amina to McDonald's sometime this weekend, which I am very, very excited about :)
Anyway, we walked back, and we were going to get ice cream, but it was too close to 10, so we did some stuff really quick, and then walked to Amina's hotel to watch Arrested Development. Its not something I would usually watch, but it was TV, gosh darnit. Amina's hotel is SO NICE! She lives on the 4th floor, and its all marble...she has a DOUBLE BED!!! A TV, a really nice bathroom...she is spending about 450 rupees a night (whereas I'm spending 110 a night), but its...man. She has a freaking couch. Its outstanding.

So, this has taken me almost 2 hours, because the power at Sari Palace went out came back on about 20 minutes ago. But...meh. I'm hot and tired and I want to watch friends on YouTube. So I love you guys and ONE WEEK! I'll be back in the states!'

Until Next Time
