Chennai celebrated another day of Devali which meant for us no school. We all headed off to the childrens homes – Jane and Robina to SEAM and George and I to Assisi. The difference between the two are great. I know that in India all of these kids are lucky to be in either place but you can’t help but notice how much nicer Assisi is.
Afternoon was spent dining out and shopping, shopping and more shopping. We headed to the fabric store. Five levels of chaos mixed in with fabric – it was too much! Hard to even know where to begin. Next came the jewelry. At the gold store people pushed and shoved their way to the counter and lined up outside the door. Lucky for Robina and I Indians don’t like silver! The shopping experience was like the day after Thanksgiving in the states – at Walmart, after a new game station comes out.
Stephen is a patient man!
We were all grateful and relieved to return to the guesthouse for a quiet evening and a cold beer!
