Today is the day of Suja's sister's wedding. She will meet her husband today. Hopefully the family has a pretty good idea of her tastes so she will be happy. The groom arrives at 1 pm. The marriage ceremony will last most of the day and evening. We are going back dressed in full regalia (Nicky and I in saris, the boys, Heather and Alan in Indian suits). Hopefully we will figure out how to post photos to the blog soon.... There is a dinner for 1500 invited (1800 with gatecrashers) guests tonight... and we thought the Italians had big weddings!
Yesterday we went back to Chilika Lake because Heather, Nicky, Jay and Sam had all been sick the first time. We needed something to keep the kids busy and Suja was occupied with wedding planning. It was really nice to be on the lake again but this time we had a brush with disaster. We were in the same pointy prowed long boat and another very pointy prowed sailboat was on a collision course with us. Our driver was not too swift and he turned right in front of the sailboat which was going at a real clip. The sailboat ran right over the prow just where Jacob was sitting with his back to the whole thing. Luckily Suja's frient Bhutu was there and pulled him to safety. Sam was also in the path so I snatched him up. Jacob got a bit of a clunk on the head but it only hurt for about half an hour. I have a large bruise on my arm but that, thank goodness, is the only injury amongst us. This travel thing is a risky business for our son it seems. He would not have been bitten by monkeys or hit in the head with rustic boats in Canada. Don't even get me started about the seatbelt (a real lack thereof) situation here!
