More Shopping!

The girls gave their science presentations this morning. I was really impressed with them. They were able to stand up and talk about their flowers for about five minutes and then answer questions. We also did our weekly spelling test and practised our multiplication tables.

For lunch we went to a hotel that also books tours. We had another great lunch of vegetarian curries and roti bread, and afterwards we arranged to go to Ooty in a week’s time and got some information on Kerala as well.

We were in the mood for more shopping so we ventured out to another part of town where there were some souvenir shops. We didn’t find what we were looking for in that area of town and so we went to a store called “Big Bazaar”. It was a big department store and we were very successful in picking up some things for the girls, but we still didn’t find much in the way of presents for the Baha’i New Year for our family back home.

We found some beautiful Punjabis for Yasmin and Roya. They will be able to wear them to the wedding next Sunday, and when we get back to the west, I think they can wear them as dresses without the pants. We also found some more casual Punjabis that can even be worn back home because the pants are just regular style and the shirts are not so long. Both sets come with sheer scarves and the girls are having a great time playing with them.
