EAT!

After a day of binging and a huge last diner at our canteen full of all of our favorite things there we went over to a nurses house, just expecting to pick up some paper work. We walked in and she had a whole table full of food for us to eat. Including: pizza, dal, dosa, cake, bananas, cookies, a hard-boiled egg, two crunchy snack filled plates, chocolate doughnuts, fanta, and tea. She kept saying just finish up this one little bite… We mustered it up and ate it anyways so we weren't rude why the nurse, her two children, and her mother all sat around and watched us eat. Leslie just puked and I actually feel full (even with my Dunbar sized belly). You have to leave a little on your plate to show that you are not still hungry, but if you leave to much it shows that you didn't like their food. They all kept saying that they had already eaten even though we knew that they hadn't. Her poor kids were starving and every time their mom left the room we tried to make them eat something, but they knew better and said that they were not hungry. I swear that her daughter was trying to telepathic control to make me leave a doughnut on my plate so she could eat it later. The kids were really cute though at ages 8 and 9. They lived in Milwaukee for three years and just moved back in September. The kids only speak English and they told us that they hate it here and want to go back to America and eat a hamburger. Their dad stayed there and is trying to get residency for them so they can go back when they are older. The nurse felt really bad that she had not made us a proper meal because she had had been too busy. Her maid had just quit, and her mother had fallen the day before, and her husband had just left after a visit home. She is extremely busy with raising two kids, working 6 days a week, taking care of her mother, and a household. We were really glad that she didn’t have time because we couldn’t have fit anymore in for sure! She was so incredibly sweet to us while we were here!

Today we are packing and getting ready to head. We are going to go to the pool and swim laps to burn off our huge meals. Rough life indeed… We go to Varkala tomorrow. We have 9 days to do what ever all around Kerala as long as we end up North of Varkala in Cochin on the 24th. We fly out of Cochin on that day to Delhi. After that we are going Agra to see the Taj on the 25th. Then we will go back to Dehli to fly home on the 27th at 12:45 AM. If I get the internet I will write again. Otherwise I will see you all very soon!
