Quiet Saturday



We think we are the only guests in the fort today, as we have a quiet day reading and playing. In the afternoon, Jen and the four kids walk down the hill to the Hygenic restaurant (that's the name), order 3 rounds of soda bottles for 10 rupees each, play several hands of cards and are circled by a pack of suspiciously dingo-like dogs on the walk home. When Jen is flagging under the weight of Kobi on piggyback, and it looks like she might go down to be the appetizer at tonight's doggie dinner, Kobi scrambles to climb over to Tenzin's shoulders instead....just to get a little more height.

We have a candlelit dinner on the roof of the fort, with pasta and roasted potatoes for some of us, and Goan fish curry for the others. Then we fire up the DVD player on the laptop and try to watch a movie before bed, but the technology fails us and we just turn in.

Here's a photo from the day:
