Saturday March 13th Day 11
In the morning I walked down to the bazar to check on the availability for my “Happy Pills”, as my sons called them. They appear not to be available so when I returned home I counted them out to discover the I have 82 days of pills and 81 days before I get back to the US. Someone will have to go down to the Safeway Pharmacy in Renton and fill the monthly prescription before I get home. I also check on my insulin and discovered that my cost for it will be about the same as my copay is when getting it at home with my Insurance.
My gruel for lunch was a great success. I had to supervise the cooking because the cook never puts salt in anything while cooking. Tomorrow I have to cook it for myself because the cook is taking my housemates to his home village, which can be seen on the side of the next hill.
In the after noon we all walked down the Woodstock School to look at a Scholastic Books sale. The climb back of the hill is called the Zig Zag and it is brutal for new arrivals. After 2 major climbs I was pooped. In the evening the Italian man invited over 3 Italian girls who attend the Language School. Together they prepared dinner which consisted of Pasta with a tomato and cheese sauce and 2 kinds of salad. When eating dinner they eat the pasta first and on their empty plates they have salad. The dinner was good, there were NO Indian spices. After that we watched an India movie. The director of this flick was a friend of the 3 girls. There is a curious mixture of english and hindi dialogue. If you did not know both languages you would not be able to follow the story completely. This was a standard love story and the ending was never in doubt, just how it would be accomplished.
