2. Christmas Eve - had dinner with John and Chris at "The Big Chill" where they serve the BEST overpriced (for India) minestrone soup ever, but REFUSE to make you a pizza without cheese.
3. John argued the cheese thing and proved to at least one person in this city that they can do things differently than they have done them in the past and IT WILL BE OK.
4. We're on our second yoga teacher. My shoulders are sore today.
5. Went to Sarojini market with John today - the best market I've found in Delhi yet. You can get pretty much anything and the prices are unbeatable. Just have to deal with a bunch of guys tagging along behind us trying to sell us belts, sunglasses, handkerchieves, clothes hampers, stockings, you name it.
6. Found the knitting store and bought 100 g of pretty candy cane colored yarn for 55 rupees.
7. Just called dad to wish him happy bday and they are on their way to eat falafel. All thoughts of birthday wishes completely vanished as I calculated how long it's been since I've had a falafel and how good one would taste right now.
8. New volunteer place for me - 11ish-12ish in the morning (Indian standard time) I teach a bunch of boys in a slum community near the railway station. Gives me a taste of yet another of the many "Indias" we are encountering. Rowdy kids who obviously aren't used to minding anyone for very long, but just eat up the individual attention.
9. Am realizing I did not bring enough warm clothes on this adventure - didn't expect such COLD.
10. Loving every minute of this and thanking God every day for this chance to serve and learn and grow, and for the wonderful person He gave me to share it all with.
