Delhi Belly

I have the "Delhi Belly". Not to be confused with the new Indian movie, of the same name...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delhi_Belly_%28film%29. I am sick. I won't gross you out with details - it's your basic India stomach ache and intestinal distress. I took some of the heavy duty pills I brought from home and I started feeling better pretty quickly. I wasn't well enough to go to Geeta's Friday night class which is a major bummer. My roommates and I are purchasing the class recordings for the month though so I can do replicate the class on my own but it's definitely not the same. Classes are over two weeks from yesterday and the next two weeks will fly by. I want to get as much class, practice, and observing time as I can get before we leave Pune on the first. When you're sick you just have to accept it and stay home. I considered going to class and doing a sequence in the back of the room with the menstruating ladies but the idea of stretching my abdomen over a bolster sounded disgusting. So I decided to stay home. I am lucky that Sarah is here to keep me company. Last time I was here I was sick for 2 days with a sinus infection and I had to tough it out all on my own. Being sick is no fun but being sick alone by yourself on the other side of the world is torture.

On a positive note we purchased our plane tickets to Kerala. We will be there July 1-7. Kerala is a state down south on the west coast. There are supposed to be some of the best beaches in the world there. We probably won't get too much beach time however because it is monsoon season. And Kerala get clobbered with rain this time of year. We plan to spend the night on a house boat and also stay out in the wilderness near a tea plantation...or is it a coconut grove? Some of the details are still a little bit foggy.
