Weekend #2 (Shalini)





Friday:
Today was our average day, but then our Penn friends came to watch the world cup and we ordered Pizza Hut. Also, fyi, McDonalds delivers in India. This game was exciting! South Africa played so well and got the first goal of their World Cup! How nice. We then went outside and explored the park (with swing set and slide!!) that's near our house, and got some ice cream.

Saturday:
Felix is gone for the weekend somewhere north. He just hopped on a train, without a place to stay or a return ticket. He also doesn't have a phone. We are like two anxious moms, worried sick about him.

This morning we slept in, and then we went for brunch. It was a cool restaurant and we found out that they were playing the World Cup that night, so we planned to return. We then went to Sarojini Nagar market, where we bought more salwar kameezs and our second saree for the wedding.

We met up with Sam, Sean, and Michelle at the market and then made plans for later that night. We ended up going to the restaurant to watch the England US game. We had a really fun time.

Sunday
In the morning we went over to our friend's house and Michelle made wonderful, delicious pancakes. We then went to the Qutab Minar. It was really hot outside, and the group (except for me) war attacked by Indians who wanted to take pictures with Americans. At one point, they even kicked me out of a picture. If only they knew...

We then went to a mall to eat lunch and Chandi Chowk, which are street vendors inside, and then Cait and I went on a search to find a black dress for the bachelorette party at the wedding. This was quite an ordeal. We then piled 5 people into an auto and headed home.

That night I cooked fajitas and we watched some more soccer.
