Day 7:

We had a nice relaxing morning just hanging out in the main building and talking with everyone. It was especially nice for Abby and I because we’re staying across the street and don’t have internet, so we brought our computers over and were able to catch up on the world. We also washed our clothes and then did some shopping for food at the little convenience store down the road. We’ve all decided we want to eat out less and save money on food, so we’re going to start cooking meals in.

This afternoon we headed to Commercial Street for some Indian clothes shopping! I bought several pairs of leggings and kurtas, which should be perfect for my internship! There are so many different types/varieties of fabrics it’s hard to choose, but we all found some really nice stuff! I’m excited because these clothes will be so much cooler than the jeans I’ve been sweating to death in the last week!

  2. What is the temperature and weather like, during the day and at night? Is there much air conditioning?
    I hope you'll tell us more about the place you are staying in one of your blogs when you have time. Too bad about no internet in your room!

  3. Kurtas are these tunic-like shirts that Indian women wear with leggings... and don't worry, I bought plenty of gorgeous colors! :)

    The temperature is pretty hot all the time, especially since everyone wears pants and long sleeve shirts everyday, although it is supposed to cool off a little once the rains start (which is soon I think). No air, but we manage to stay cool enough!
