Today will be a light day. I\u2019m headed to Bindu\u2019s for lunch, and then it\u2019s off to work.<\/p>\n<p>Traffic was heavy and I arrived at Bindu\u2019s 15 minutes later than we had planned. On the bright side, we didn\u2019t have to detour to get to her house today. The giant hole had been filled, and we were able to drive straight to her door.<\/p>\n<p>Arriving late wasn\u2019t a bad thing since Bindu had to go out and buy some orange juice to have with lunch. Bindu\u2019s been trying to convince me to take a ride on her moped and I finally agreed. I hopped on the back of her moped (helmet less \u2013 I was sweating bullets the whole time) and we headed off to the pill and powder store. A pill and powder store is similar to a Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada, but on a much smaller scale. They fill prescriptions, sell makeup and hair care items, and strangely enough also carry OJ.<\/p>\n<p>Bindu\u2019s family are vegetarians, so lunch consisted of rice dishes, potato and vegetable curry, potato salad, curds (yogurt) and chapattis.<\/p>\n<p>After a lengthy visit with Bindu and her family, I headed off to work.<\/p>\n<p>Lance finally figured out the mess my site was in and fixed it so that last weeks journal entries appeared. Now that we know what went wrong this week, we can plan around it and avoid it on the next upload. YAY!<\/p>\n<p>Linda and Anand have decided not to write travel journals, but Bill should have his site up and running soon. Last I heard, he was compiling mini novella\u2019s outlining his adventures. As soon as I have the URL, I\u2019ll post a link to it on the site.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Update:<\/strong> Bill&#8217;s journal is hosted at <a href=\"http:\/\/home.neo.rr.com\/wspirit\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/home.neo.rr.com\/wspirit\/index.html<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>When it was time to leave tonight, Anand and Manish weren\u2019t ready. I joined Linda and Bill in their car \u2013 and we weren\u2019t chased by any dogs! Of course, a few were lying in wait on the road, but none barked or gave any indication that they wanted to eat the occupants of our car for dinner. Strangely enough, Anands\u2019 car was chased on his way home\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I couldn\u2019t get out of bed this morning \u2013 the lack of sleep is finally catching up with me and I called Bindu to reschedule our trip to Iskon.
