Today is Sunday - the day before my birthday - Pamela (friend) came over for lunch, after lunch we played a few games of Skipo and then we went over to Coffee Day just off the Expressway for Capaccino (sp) sat there so long that we finally walked over to the US Pizza place and had a pizza for dinner - what a lovely day we had. The weather today was dry and then rainy on and off all day. Even got to see the sun from time to time. The wind is so lovely - I was saying to Pamela it is too bad there isn't some place to sit and enjoy the wind and at the same time she was saying it is a shame there isn't a place to go for a jog in the wind - different prespectives -!?!?
I guess we have had a pretty mild monsoon so far - at least everyone says that it is usually much worse - have had quite a few sunny (at least dry)breaks every day. I am so grateful that it isn't as bad as they all warned me it would be.
I keep having to remind myself that this is July and not November - the temp is quite cool besides the rain. Certainly more tolerable than the hot humid weather we were having when I first got here.
I am feeling quite settled in my place - have been able to have different people over for meals - and gone to different peoples places as well.
Currently we only have one school running on campus - but there are about 30 students in the class - it is going very well. We are in process of preparing for the UofN workshop that will be taking place beginning of Sept. The building is coming along really well - they were even able to get most of the roof slab poured already - thankfully the rain has held off quite a bit to make this possible.
This past week we saw Sandra off - she has returned to Switzerland after being here since doing her IPHC school in 2000. It was sad to see her go - but she certianly was happy to be going home again.
I haven't had a chance to go see the waterfalls yet - there are hundreds of them during the monsoon - hopefully I will get to do that soon. The people come here from Bombay every weekend to enjoy the rains and the waterfalls - so there is really no point going out on the weekends - the roads are completely plugged with cars and people. So I will have to go during the week sometime.
