and half-way across the globe...

As I've been spending my days picking the dead skin off, I can hear the difficulties Brian has in communicating with my grandma. But, despite the communication barrier he has come across, I can tell he's enjoying himself. And I'm starting to enjoy the gradual reactivation of limb function. And on Thursday, we will be ready to head over to see the great Taj Mahal.

Lately, I've just been relaxing and reading (3 Different Books: 3 Cups of Tea, Kim, and Zen & The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance).  Besides that, time passes quickly when you start picking the scabs. My skin is really itchy. But for the first time in 2 weeks, I can fully extend my right arm.  Brian has now completed his 1 week course in Ayurvedic Medicinal Massage and comes back to our apartment smelling like oil. But, according to my cousin, he gives really amazing massages (attn: ladies). 

Last night, we went over to an area called Koliwara that cooks Indian style BBQ. Just about the best tandoori chicken and fish we've ever had. Our waiter told us that we were getting Grade B fish, as its not the season for Grade A, but it was great. If we could bring back a batch, we would.  And in just half an hour, we are off to watch a movie in the theatre where popcorn doesn't even cost a dollar...and they deliver food to your seat.  Too bad Brian won't understand a word.

And as its our last week of India, we are ready to head back to the states, but will miss this country greatly. From the 5 dollar 1-hour long full body massages to the amazing Indian food to humorous sex columns in the Mumbai Mirror (to be posted soon). And an update on pictures, we have decided to post from our own computers, which are in Delhi currently. The reason for this is that we get rushed at internet cafes and the speed is slow to upload. But no worries, much will be shared soon. As we have learned on this trip, patience is a virtue.

Our flight arrives at 1230pm next Monday at SFO, so if anyone wants to share dinner with a couple jet-lagged idiots next Monday, let us know. See you all soon.
