Sunday!

The day started early, around 730 or 8 to have breakfast befor church. There we're supposed to be big festivities today but they were canceled because a church member died during child birth last week. Church lasted for about 2.5 hours, of which I understood the word amen, and other random English words that were mixed in, but very little. After that the cousins teased me that they had trouble staying awake usually, and how it must be even worse not understanding anthing! Did lots of meet and greet and lots of kisses on the cheeks from old ladies I don't know. Oh, and before that dads cousins showed up unexpected to suprise ajoba(grandpa) and that was fun. They stayed for lunch which was gigantic and the trying to get you to keep eating never stopped! Food is great though, they keep trying to make seperate curries that aren't as spicy for me, I finally convinced them that I didn't think the spicy version was very spicy and am now eating that. Then LOTS of pictures were taken of everyone. Which was followed by a good afternoon nap. Cards, carrom, badminton, and ice cream followed.

Oh and almost forgot! Me, kshitja, Rachel, and jeevan all rode a camel! They were selling rides on the street for 5 rupees each, which is 10 cents. Ill upload the pictures as soon as I can! Goodnight!

Your descriptions are making me feel like I am there! What fun that you all are old enough to go "out" on your own. That would be awesome. I never liked just staying at the house or going on the "everybody" excursions. Doesn't sound like you have been assigned the rice-cleaning job. I did enjoy doing that during Marathi-speaking times. How are Azoba and Aji? Please give Vidu Kaka a hug especially from me. Love you!
