Today we got up nice and early had our usual tea with crackers and got ready to do our morning walk...if not explore everything!!
As we left for our walk just around the corner we saw a woman digging through rubble of what seemed to be a house under construction... kind of an interesting site in such a high class neighborhood.
Along our walk our dad showed us the Sindh Society clubhouse... (very nice...billiards table, theatre on the outside..very clean pool in the back and a second building to the left of it...)
people at community clubhouse got pissed off at us for taking pics though.
The walk was very beautiful ...all the green...and even though we made enemies at the club house we made a friend! some crazy lady while walking- she apparently knew my dad (he didn't know her)...and she was rambling about her and her husband going to the u.s. (?) ...crazy but a nice lady nontheless.
As we kept walking we the school in the Sindh society..it was once meant for the very rich children ..but as the rich started finding better schools...the poorer children were allowed into the school...now the school has a great diversity despite money status!.
Here's a pic of the kids doing pledge and later playing simon says!
On our way back to my dad's house we saw a shrine on the side of the road...a mini temple!
Once back at the house we took the rest of the afternoon to relax...off the balcony we heard some yelling..turned out to be a man selling vegetables on the road - a norm in India.
Uncle Shopra gave us some delicious bannas later that day as we left for our evening walk. The Banannas tasted almost like blueberries!! Possibly the best bananas I've ever had...I can't wait to eat more Indian fruit! (except the ones that will get me sick of course).
