I cannot believe that it's already the 6th of August! Time has really been flying by here. I'm not even sure what all I've been doing but I know it's been making time pass. This past weekend was pretty relaxed. Friday was a mess of a day. Since Thursday was a holiday, both Stewart and I were thrown off on Friday. We almost forgot about an appointment we had that evening. Luckily, Stewart remembered right at the time we were supposed to be leaving for it! Saturday, we pretty much vegged around the house. We skyped with my parents that morning but then just read and worked on some crafts for the rest of the day.
Sunday was a bit more exciting. We met up with some new friends to try out a restaurant in Hauz Khas Village. Stewart and I had wandered across it when we were there last Thursday for breakfast. It's called Cafe Out of the Box. The really interesting part of Hauz Khas Village is that you would never think places like this existed. As you walk down the alleys, everything looks like it's under construction or repair or just plain closed. Then you see a sign and climb three flights of stairs to find a restaurant with cool modern decorating overlooking the reservoir and city. The OTB ultimate veggie burger was probably the best veggie burger I have ever had. And the best part was that the french fries were served with HEINZ ketchup! Oh how I miss that stuff! It seemed silly going out to eat a burger when we live in India but then I thought about the fact that we're pretty much eating Indian every night at home. I got over it quick and enjoyed my burger. We walked around the village after lunch, ducking into little shops off the alleyways, and enjoying the atmosphere. There's an art gallery there that's taunting Stewart and I with a painting that we both like and keep thinking about. We saw it first on Thursday and then stopped yesterday to check it out again. The art show is only there until tomorrow so we'll see if the painting gets the better of us :-)
Last night, we took the longest drive on our own since getting our car. Stewart's work has some people visiting so we went to the airport to greet them. We wanted to see if we could make it out there and back so that when friends/family visit, we can pick them up. This all depends on what day of the week they arrive too. We're okay with driving on the weekends when traffic is slow but we would not attempt it during the week. There are just too many crazies out there for us to feel okay with that.
This week is a pretty slow week. Friday is another Indian holiday but Sunil wasn't quite sure which one it is. All I know is that it means Stewart gets a three day weekend. I'm quite okay with that :-)
