Our first week of the first month of 2011 in India has come and gone. It has been an ordinary week and pretty boring considering the previous couple of weeks with Christmas and our New Years trip. We did have one or two things that happened the past week that I can tell you all about.
Teresa started getting a really bad toothache the week before our trip and went to the dentist hoping it would be a quick fix. Like our friend Murphy would have it, that did not happened. The Dr. ordered a Root Canal and prescribed her some pain medication until he could do it. That all happened the last week, Teresa had two appointments the past week and all went well to date. She is just waiting for them to let her know when her last appointment will be for the final phase of the procedure. We were lucky and found a nice dentist that studied in the United Kingdom and he is certified in the United Kingdom, United States of America and Moscow. It sure looks like he has done some traveling.
Saturday was a fun day, we made an appointment for the two of us to go for a couples back and neck massage on Saturday morning and had a delicious lunch at the Novotel afterwards. The massage was great but both of us are still very tender in our lower back around the spine area. We do not know if that is normal but we hope it is. The lunch was great as usual and we just had a great midday overall. Saturday evening we attended a farewell party for one of our good friends we made in a very short time. It is someone that works at the same company where Teresa is and they have been in India for just over three years and he will be leaving in March but his wife is leaving on Tuesday January 11. We will definitely make a plan to visit them in New York once we have returned to the United States. The farewell was at News Cafe and we had the opportunity to meet more very interesting people. We finally got home at two in the morning and I really felt bad for our driver having to sit in the car waiting for us while we were having a good time. I guess that is why we tip him and we do tip him very well.
Sunday was as uneventful as you can get, Teresa had work to do and worked the whole of Sunday. I just threw myself in front of the television and watched some movies and a couple of shows on the Travel Channel. The internet helped out when ever there was not much to watch on the tele.
We also had a leak in one of our bedrooms, it is a leak from the outside wall to the inside of the bedroom. The maintenance people have been here a couple of times and decided this morning to take drastic action. They started at ten this morning and just about broke down the whole place. See attached pictures. There is a pipe inside the wall that looks to be the culprit. It is a bit of a mess so I hope it does not take to long to fix up.
Until next week!!
