Today we decided to take a break and rest for the day because both Katie and I were very tired. Katie woke up around nine and journaled for most of the day. I slept until one in the afternoon hehehe which felt wonderful! It was the first really good sleep I have had since I arrived here. When I woke up, we had lunch and then did our wash! Actually we attempted to do our wash J We put too much detergent in and Tandra, Maya’s niece, had to help us get it all out. We took up all the clotheslines in the house to dry half our clothes so we are waiting until tomorrow to wash the rest. We also got out the computer and made sure our convertor works. Yipee!!
Maya was at the court today serving as a judge for some cases—she is such a role model to me and Katie! When she came back, Katie and I showed her and Tandra pictures from home. It was awesome sharing the pictures with them and now they know what our families and friends look like. They seemed to really enjoy the pictures and I think it gave them a better idea of our lives back at home. It was nice to be able to share some of our culture with them! After this, we tried on all of our clothes so that Tandra could see what we bought and now we are sitting in Maya’s apartment just writing and updating everything. Everything is going so well! Both Katie and I are becoming very comfortable here in Kolkata! In a few minutes we will be visiting some of Maya’s relatives and we’re so excited! Maya’s whole extended family has welcomed us into their homes and has shown an interest in us, and we truly are very grateful to have this home away from home!
