Weekend Update

Our group was invited to a wedding reception so all the girls needed sarees to wear. Saturday morning we took a taxi to TNagar to shop for sarees. All of us ended up buying them from Kumarans. We walked in and kept going upstairs to the nicer sarees. Everyone got something different. Mine is a blue/green with some red embroidery and brown beading. The colors and beadwork on all of our sarees is amazing.

On Sunday a few of us went to mass at St. Thomas's Basilica which is built over the remains of Doubting Thomas. The mass was a little different, the music was very modern. After we ate lunch at Sarana Bhavan and I had a mini meal with different types of rice and a delicious desert that was made of rice, milk, and sugar.

We found black coffee at work. The coffee at our hotel is either instant or already has a ton of cream mixed into it so all of the black coffee drinkers get really excited about going to work in the morning. They also bring us snacks occasionally which is very nice.
