A little bored

Tomorrow marks two weeks since I've left Chicago.  Though I'm grateful and excited to be in India, I don't have much to do.  Consistent work won't start until the end of next week.  It's been good to get to know my colleagues, I'm just ready for some work--I know I'll regret saying this in two months.

Yesterday was relatively uneventful, though I did go on my first run here.  It was horrible, there are so many bugs flying in and around my mouth and it's way more humid than I prefer for running, but it is helping me feel a little better.

I think I'll just do a little photo purge to prove I am actually having a good time here, despite the first two paragraphs.

The above photo was taken at India Coffee House in Delhi last week.  We had rose soda, iced and hot coffees and were told to skip the water--it's not worth the risk of getting sick.  I was very thirsty, so iced coffee it was.  One large gulp later I discovered a large, dead ant on my tongue.  It was nasty, but didn't ruin the experience.

This delectable delight was from Wenger's Bakery in Connaught Place (Delhi).  Mango Pudding--it was as good as it sounds and looks.  I was too eager to try it before taking a photo.

And here is Nina, Susannah, me, and Chimi in an auto(rickshaw).  It's a small covered seat that's driven by the equivalent of a motorcycle.  They don't go very fast, but they are an easy, cheap way to get where you're going.

These photos are from the third night we were in town--very jet lagged.  We had an opening ceremony and dinner, so naturally we chose to document ourselves.  

And last for today, here's a blurry shot of the complexes we live in, it's called a society here, and the pool.  We were yelled at after taking this photo for being in the pool, so I don't know if we'll be able to actually use it.

Oooh, one more for TTHT because in a few hours (for me) we can say we've been together for a year and 8 months.

It's a Tom sandwich :D <3
