It's been pretty rainy lately. This is one of the big reasons I haven't blogged in the last couple days. There are a lot of power outages with the rain. We already face 5 hours of power cuts each day 2 1/2 in the morning 2 1/2 in the afternoon, but it's been more than that lately.
Naveen and I were recently out in the rain and I saw a lady sweeping the street with a small plastic bag on her head wrapping the handles around the ears. I thought how inventive! Then I noticed how others kept themselves dry without umbrellas. An auto rickshaw we road in had a rice bag attached to the ceiling drapping down the side so passengers didn't get wet. Man do they know how to get use out of everything here! Our breakfast at the restaurant that we take out is wrapped in banana leafs and newspaper.
Even the baby is catching on. We have a toy at home with wheels that she gets her balance from and walks behind. We don't have it here, so she learned that if she uses the furniture she can push things across the smooth marble floor to walk behind. There's always furniture being rearranged around here :)
