Today was our day off, so Tullia and I went to climb Chamundi Hill. It was an interesting experience, being ripped off by a tuktuk driver, but eventually getting there. At the bottom we saw the fattest monkey in the world eating sugar cane.
At the top, we started to have problems with too many people asking for photos. Because I'm tall and blond, blue-eyed, and have long hair, everyone seems to want a photo with me. It's ok occassionally, but when it's all the time it gets annoying. I've started asking for 20 rupees per photo whenever someone asks. Of course they're Indian so they never pay, but it decreases the number of people who ask for photos for sure.
On the way back from Chamundi Hill, we were running a bit late for breakfast, so made a quick call to Marie at Anokhi and asked her to prepare some breakfast for us for when we got back.
Britt has decided that she wants to join us for Vinay's flexibility classes. She's really excited about it. i don't know why, she already backbends like a beast, and can grab her calves in a drop back with no trouble at all!
Tonight is the farewell dinner for Monica. She's been so much fun to have around, hopefully I'll see her in either Mexico or India in the near future.
A final note, I finally figured out how to get hot water from my shower. Until now I've been heating it on the stove. Hahaha.
