tomorrow is a big day.
picture with me, a travel bus. green in color, with one small TV for viewing pleasure in the front (i'm assuming its in the front).
stuffed with 56 indians and their 2 liter water bottles. ready and waiting to endure 5 hours of travel to the digha beach for SB's 2nd annual picnic fest extravaganza.
yes, its true, we're packing up the fam and heading south for the weekend to celebrate New Life, another year, and a growing family.
and if you've never swam in the ocean in a full salwar suit (which is basically a dress with pants...i'll dig up a picture for all you curious souls out there) well you're missing out folks. if you're swim racing though, it could definitely hinder your game.
plus i'm awaiting with dread the moment the ladies hold me down in order to comb out my unstraightenable hair. they believe with all their precious hearts that if they put a comb to my head my hair will turn silky smooth and sudding beauty will happen in a way they've yet to see. i tell them i will run and hide. they just laugh. i feel fear...
so, nothing says vacation like a salwar swim in the ocean and a good fro. and lots of indian cuisine.
although praise the good lord that the ban on chicken is over in west bengal, or at least kolkata. we all partook in KFC last night and it's taste was like pure bliss. honestly it was so good.
so, do think of us this weekend as we travel.
and i'll be back with many a story i'm sure when we return.
much love.
