School is out today due to a Hindu holiday, so we headed out for some sightseeing and shopping.
We first stopped off at Charminar, a historical monument in the Muslim section of the city. It looked like there had been an all-night party prior to our visit as street vendors were cleaning up their shop extensions that spilled into the streets, and the sweepers (both mechanical and human) were busy at work. We believe it has something to do with Ramadan.
Moving on we headed for some shopping at an Indian flea market. Lots of authentic Indian items up for grabs at bargained prices.
It was then lunchtime, so we were taken to a westernized "mall" for a meal and another opportunity to pick up an item or two. Don't get me wrong, Indian food is awesome, but a little meal variety is a good thing.
Finally back to the hotel for dinner, birthday cake (our dear Lauren is becoming a big girl now), and gift wrapping for tomorrow; our last day at the school with the kids and teachers. We also have a parent meeting/training in the evening.
All of us are anxious to see the kids again, and no one is liking the idea of leaving them at the end of the day.
Blessings to you all, and thank you for your continued support.
