A typical weekday morning in the Murphy house, except that today is Halloween! Happy Halloween everyone! :-D
(<- Commercial street after dark)
So. Yesterday was big fun for me. After getting the kids dropped off at school, Sarvenon, Tom and I headed towards commercial street- the main shopping district here. So..... it's a small street, with cars, auto-rickshaw (motorbike seating three), bicycles and people walking. In general you drive on the left side of the road....but, potholes, cows, bikes, motorcycles and pedestrians drive where anyone really is moving. The person/vehicle that first arrives to any given point has right of way.
Commercial district is one shop after another....10 foot openings, rough, with merchandise displayed. Some shops are only that and open to the street, some are actually nice shops with glass cases, wood floor and doors separating the shop from the street. You can get just about anything there.....and I found one of the things that I came to get (Xmas is a coming....that's all the detail I can provide, family). I was a happy kid. Without Sarvenon, I'm not sure how a person could really know exactly where to find anything here!
India Fine Fact #1: Here is the most magical thing that I've discovered about Bangalore through Tom trials. You can get anything fixed, get it fixed well and it's inexpensive. Things are fixed, not thrown away.
Well today is a new day. Tracy and I have already done yoga. Headed to the club to work out with Tom later. We've got trick-or-treating this eve and then we're off to our long weekend get-away to Pondicherry. We'll drive part way there tonight and arrive tomorrow.
The weather could be a bit choppy as there was or is a tropical storm in the Bay of Bengal (the weather forecast is a bit unreliable here.)
After today, you won't hear from me for a bit....... on vacation from vacation.
Love and Hugs- W:)
