Oh my God! Where do I start?

Hello all!
I have returned from the living dead! I am the person who can not nap or does not read books!
I am doing both!...but as soon as we get some sun, I will be moving!
I was fascinated about the path of my flight to India! We flew up the coast of coast of Iceland, over Greenland, crossed Norway and Sweden, over St. Petersburg and Kabul into India? Were they avoiding the Middle East or just following the jet stream????
Did you know that monsoon means raining all the f*%@*#g time!!!!! There is a 120% chance of rain tomorrow!.....but it is a warm rain - everything is in bloom and very fresh. It rains straight down and hard. When it stops, you can hear the Arabian Sea pounding the seashore and the jungle comes to life. I can't see too much because the leaves are so dense, but the bird sounds are incredible, you can hear the monkeys jumping from tree to tree and the bugs are far less than I expected! I have seen no hairy spiders with knees or scorpions! There are several small lizards in the house but I don't mind them - they stay high on the wall and always seem to want to run away!
Yesterday, the fishermen went by and nicole bought three little fish. She scaled and gutted then and fried them up in garlic and onions.She made a tartar sauce with mayo, yogurt and fresh dill. It was better than any fish I have ever had in a restaurant!!! Today, the breadman went by ringing his bell and she bought two warm rolls for 4 cents each and we had peanut butter and jelly on warm bread. Life is good! She made me eat papaya which has an underlaying taste of vomit! It is not my favorite..obviously. Tonight we are enjoying a bottle of wine with pasta. There is only one wine that is drinkeable here - it cost $10 which is a fortune to most. It would be like $100 to most here but that is what mothers are for!
Love to all - the lights are flickering as it is raining again - enjoy your weekend! Mary Lou
