I went to Mahabalipuram with Jin and Angela over the weekend, and it was such a relief. Lots of fresh grilled fish that was caught that day, soooo delicious. There was a french place also, and we got crepes and espresso, soooo delicious. Hung out on the beach, in the pool, at restaurants, and just chilled in the gloriously air conditioned hotel room. I am quite convinced that air conditioning is the best invention ever. Well at least like top 4.
One thing I found out about beer here. The only beer you can get is Kingfisher, an Indian beer. The thing is...they put glycerol in it to preserve it, which gives you these massive headaches. You can check this by turning a beer upside down with your thumb over the opening, then quickly submerge it in a glass of water. The water will not leak into the beer, but the glycerol will flow out. We tried it and sure enough it's true.
We also got shirt tailored for us, which was really cool. They were like $7.50 each.
Oh also, we went to "Siesta Restaurant", hehe.
Back at the orphanage...today it will be tough because Jin was here Wednesday through Friday of last week, and it was such a huge help to have him around. I'm on my own again until next week, when this guy Matt (who volunteered at the orphanage from January through July) will be returning for a few days.

Your blog is wonderful and full of so many details.
We are leaving next week for Chennai where my son and daughter in law are picking up their adopted daughter. We'll be there almost a week. Thank you
for your candid accounts.
