Ale's sisters/bf's family (The Thackers) came by around 5 pm and showed us around the city. They exchanged money for us, got us fruit, gave us a mobile phone to use, showed us where we can eat and walk around, and brought us to their house for ginger tea lattes (sort of like chai tea but ginger) and fried tapioca sticks. They are ridiculously warm and welcoming. They offered for us to stay with them during our month at the hospital, and we might take them up on the offer. It is still close to the hospital but they have WIFI, a phone that calls for free to the US, "domestic help", etc. And we would get to eat good Indian food everyday (or so we hope.) They are very nice, it makes it a lot nicer to be here knowing them :) Mrs. Thacker said she would help us make our vacation plans, so that will also be nice. For right now, Ale and I are sharing a room. The hospital and internet and everything are all within a "complex" type of place in the center of the city. Everything is about a 10 minute walk away. We are also going to take up yoga at a place Mrs. Thacker takes yoga. There is a 6 am, 7 am, 8 am, 6pm and 7pm class so we have many options. It is a $1 rupee rickshaw ride away, at a rate of $1 US dollar/ 54 rupees aka 2 cents.
Overall I'd say we are adjusting.
