Our day has been pretty neat! We got to go this morning to the local temple to watch the Durga Puja statues in progress. What an amazing feat of engineering and artistry. The artisans come in from the Kolkata area to create these beautiful works of art and religion. They actually bring a lot of the straw, clay, and molds to Delhi. They live on site in poor conditions, but could not be happier to show their works in progress. Photos to follow on facebook.
We also took a trip to modern bazzaar, a grocery store that was 2 floors now crammed into one! There must have been 20 people going about, serving samples, stocking shelves, or cleaning up. There is even a meat market in the rear of the store. So many things available locally and internationally. No grits though!!!
Later in the day we went to the hospital to get our daughter checked out 9 days from delivery. She is most pleased she is at pre pregnancy weight already! Her body is also on the mend, it's tough giving birth!
We closed out the evening with natural ice cream. Fruit, sugar, milk that's all the ingredients. I had coconut, and Chris had pistachio. The only bad thing with simple ingredients, it melts extremely fast!
Meanwhile today I could not get to another colored crab, but I did make a smaller sepia one! These will end up as 8x8 canvases, once I convince the mister to make me some stretcher bars!
