Coffee never tasted so good

Wow!
Only two more days left in India. I am kind of jumping out of my skin with joy! It is been a love/hate relationship between me and India. The things I hate outweigh the things I love BUT the things I love, I love so strongly that the two kind of meet in the middle.
Yesterday I stayed home from school because I felt really bad with my cold. Emily went on ahead with the Spaniards and Japanese. I slept more (because I hardly slept through the night with this stuffy nose) and when I woke up two hours later I felt a lot better. I watched some tv till Emily got back and after taking a few advil we decided to walk to the Babu Ghat. This is a place along the Hooghly River that has steps leading into it and people come to bring offerings and pray and bathe. This particular ghat was kinda dumpy but itwas cool to see this part of Indian culture.
We walked back to our hotel and waited for dinner. For lunches we usually ask for the noodles but now they assume that is all we ever want so we get noodles for lunch and dinner today. Em and I hardly ate any of our dinner noodles and ate some bread that we bought. Haha just bread and water for dinner.
Today, Wednesday, we got up and went to school. It was a good day at school because I was with the boy that loves to learn, Sumon, and his sister who hates to learn, was with Emily. It ended up being me and Emily helping this girl mostly (she is older than her brother and he knows so much more than her) and him working quietly by himself. The Japanese kids brought oragami papers and that took up a lot of time with the kids and gave all the other volunteers a break.
When we got back to the hotel Emily and I ate our lunch (noodles again) and headed out for a coffee shop called Barista. We had this at the airport in Bangalore and we saw it the other night when we went to Kwality way far away. During our walk it started to downpour on us and of course I am wearing tennis shoes with socks (best protection from the bugs and dirt) and khaki pants that become see through when wet. We are soaked and it is miserable and I feel like everyone is looking at my legs through these pants and that would be slutty here. Emily said I was being paranoid and I know I was but still!! We finally got to Barista and oh my gosh. I got this thing that was cold coffee with chocolate, ice cream and milk in it and it was amazing. Emily just got a straight up iced coffee with milk and chocolate. We drank/ate them in like seconds and it was heavenly after living off of just bread, noodles, and rice for two weeks. We are probably gonna get horrible stomach aches with how fast we drank them but it was worth it.
Now we are gonna go back and see what is on tv...again.
I love you and miss you all!!!!
