5/23/10 - Saturday

• Day of relaxation; yes I had the day off.
• Began with a 200 rupee pedicure which is the equivalent of 4 dollars! This was a nice luxury, because I almost never go to get my nails done!
• Desiree and I spent about 6 hours dabbling around Ooty, pricing different souvenirs, and haggling over different deals. (Reminded me of the days I used to go to yard sales with my mom!)
• Bought some groceries including some fresh apples!
• We ate lunch at a place called Willy's that serves western foods and is owned by one of the ladies who attends the "jazzercize" class (which is the ever popular exercise class in town). We scarfed down the ever healthy choices of a tomato, cheese and garlic pizza which naturally had hints of curry flavoring instead of the typical tomato paste used on "American pizza". The French fries tasted quite "American,"however, and we even topped off the meal with a brownie fudge sunday. . . And our total bill was under 4 dollars I believe!
• On my way home, however, I experienced the "kiss of India" and began to feel sick. For the remainder of the day and all day Sunday I was feeling quite queasy and my body "ached" all over. . . Not exactly the ideal way to end the day, but God is so faithful. . .
