Still feeling the after-effects of our trip to Kerala, we decided to chill this weekend. Even so, I put in seven miles on the treadmill Saturday, (well under the mandatory 16 minute mile target) and then tried out the pool. Very relaxing! Are my fellow princesses on schedule for our Disney Run in February?
Our late arrivals and a few gluttons for punishment took in the sites of Old City again. Sad to report that this time one of our female members was "inappropriately handled" on a crowded street. How do you say "JERK" in Hindi? Actually, the answer is jhaṭakā vyakti (झटका व्यक्ति). No kidding.
Kalie tried jogging outdoors for the first time on Sunday. We'd heard that a nice park, not too far from the hotel, was a good place for such activity. The air quality here does leave a little to be desired. Not surprisingly, it becomes even more noticeable when jogging. Looks like I'll continue to train indoors!
Highlights of the weekend were two spectacular buffets. On Saturday, we tried out the Westin Hotel. Danny, Stephanie and I had been there while shadowing a project team our first week with Deloitte USI. The place is off the hook, and it's part of the Starwood chain! Reward points WOULD be nice, but we'd all be in danger of gaining an easy twenty pounds with all of these choices.
Back home, I'm missing the annual Harry Potter Festival in Chestnut Hill. It's two days of spellbinding fun that turns the neighborhood into the fictional world of J. K. Rowling. There's the second annual Harry Potter Academic Conference on Friday. (Perhaps I should submit my Humanities capstone project!). The Philadelphia Brotherly Love Quidditch Cup Tournament is on Saturday. Meanwhile, my search for a hardbound copy of Deathly Hallows in Hindi continues. Anybody know where I can get the last book to complete my foreign language set?
