A Busy Week of Shopping

Yes, I am still alive. Just been very busy. Had visitors in Friday night and Saturday. New visitors came in then Saturday night, so we met them for dinner on Sunday. Yesterday, I picked up the wife, MR, and she is now staying with me at our house. S left for his business trip last night and her husband will be working 15 hour days. Since the hotel they are at is at least an hour drive from our house and then another hour to go shopping anywhere, it only made logically sense for her to move in with me. It'll save me a lot of time in the car.

MR and I have spent the last two days out shopping. Then in the afternoons we come back to the house and surf the internet. It is so nice having wireless internet, so we can both sit at the kitchen table, surf away, and still be able to talk.

The plans for the rest of the week: Wednesday--shopping, Thursday--shopping, and Friday--shopping. Today, I didn't buy anything, and MR got a couple of things, but it is still fun to just go out looking. However, after only going to a couple of places, we are pretty much wore out by mid afternoon. India just sort of does that to your body.

Don't worry...MR is getting to do other stuff besides shop. The car ride alone is her entertainment. Her first impressions of India: "WOW." Next week, when there are more visitors coming in, we are planning on going to the actual tourist spots. There are a few around Chennai, but seriously, just riding in the car is enough if you don't have the time to go anywhere else.
