The sun has set and its still 102 degrees outside. The high this week is 109. I think June is the worst month out of the year here. The heat is miserable. I've never had heat make me feel irritated like it does here. This combined with traffic, people, pollution, and other daily frustrations can really take a toll on a person's mental health.
They say that you should get out of India every three months so you can recharge. Unfortunately, we have not been able to do that. We did go to Thailand last July (fabulous!) but then Little Man was born, we went to the states (ok, this counts), and then Stewart had his surgeries and spent several months getting back to walking shape. I haven't been out of India for a vacation in almost six months. I am long overdo. I'm weary. I'm tired. I need a nap in a less polluted country.
So we're headed to Sri Lanka in 8 days where the weather is in the 80s. I cannot wait.
And we're starting to plan our first R&R (big trip). We think we've settled on South Africa (great white sharks breaching! safari! winter!). I think we'll escape, I mean go, in August when the monsoons are starting. I can't wait!
