Our Weekend in Kolkata

Howdy!
I heard country music today in the market place from the US so I had to say that. I hope you are all doing well. It was a rough couple of days Thursday and Friday cuz our flights overlapped our booked hotels. But Emily's dad, Papa Joe, the hero that he is, fixed everything for I us!!! I had been so sad that we were gonna leave early but he changed some things and worked his magic and poof we got the flights we needed. Thanks Joe so much for all your help!!
Yesterday was a very unproductive day at school. The teacher decided to hand out the gifts the Italian man got for the kids right in the middle of math time, so obviously no work got done. Emily and I decided to hold hostage the little girl's dolls until they finished their last few problems. It was fun. And for some reason when the girls are being especially disobedient, Emily and I get joy out of torturing the children. Not really torturing, we just would rip the heads off the dolls (they did not know that they pop on and off easily) or we would withhold stuff. Haha it is so sick but necessary.
After school we went home and hung out and decided to walk to a part of town that had a good restaurant recommended in our India book. It was sooooo far but we refused to pay for a cab. I loved the walk it just was dark out but still a thousand degrees. The place was called Kwality and I got chicken nuggets and a bottle of Kingfisher beer which was huge, Emily got coffee and ice cream and the Japanese girl got a chicken burger and a Thums Up which is kinda like ultra sugary Pepsi and yes it is spelled Thums with no "b". We took pics and it was all around a fun night!! And it was the first time we had been in a/c in a week.
This morning, Saturday, we got up and walked almost as far as Kwality to the New Market. This is a building and then some of just little shop after little shop of so many amazing deals. We did so much gift shopping and we got sarees for ourselves. I am so excited about this because they were mega cheap and custom fitted. Shopping is so much fun when you know it is so cheap!!!
We met a guy who speaks English really well named Rocky (haha) at one of our shops. He decided to take us around to all his friend's shops and knock so much off our prices. It is awesome! He also showed us the way to KFC which is where we ate lunch. Mmmm, chicken and french fries. YUM!
We are just gonna relax tonight I think because we want to use hardly any money this week. Tomorrow we might go to the baptist church down the street!!! We are so excited especially because everything here is closed on Sundays.
Anyway I hope everyone is doing well and I miss you all so much!
Talk to you soon!
I love you my precious fam!
