Sorry all, I've been sick again. This time with a mild case of Delhi Belly. I'll spare you the unpleasantries...
On Wednesday my Cities of Delhi class was held on location at Purana Qila (Old Fort) here in New Delhi. Turns out there are many 'Old Forts' around.
One of the girls we met at Khan Market, Betty, is a good friend of me and Kiki's so she invited us to sleep over Friday night. She lives in her own apartment, connected to a family's home, so she essentially has her own place. It's small but super cute. We just hung out, ordered pizza from Pizza Hut and pretended we were in America! It's been long enough that we had been craving pizza and a quick respite from India. We had such a great time. When we woke up Saturday morning we headed to Betty's fave cafe in the area, Bagel's Cafe. Yes, another slice of America. You gotta do what you gotta do lol. Especially since I've been sick the idea of the traffic, scads of people, and spicy/fried Indian food are at the top of the list of most unappealing things imaginable. So I enjoyed an iced tea and wheat bagel while listening to the American coffehouse radio mix and immediately felt just a little better.
Today is another lazy day. I'm doing hw and soon will venture out to the M block market, which is a 5 minute walk from our house. I want to actually wander around and see everything that's there. We don't get lunch today so the girls want to go get froyo at the Pink Mango we spotted last week.

Thursday here was a national holiday- Republic Day- so there was no class. Also, everything was closed so Kiki (my rooms) and I just hung out at home.
Friday we decided it was time to get out of the house so we met some of the other girls in the program at Khan Market, which is an upscale market, approx a 25 minute tuktuk ride away from home. My friend Jayme, who is in the program here, was in Africa before this and they call the autos tuktuks (long ooo) so it has caught on. The other day a took a picture inside one so you all could see how I get around New Delhi
