I will call it poo- so sick of that word shit- but it still dominates the scene here. Allynn was really sick last night- vomiting and the other stuff. And our friend Sharon said that we needed to collect a specimen and get it to the lab. Yikes I thought! She said you gotta know if it is a parasite
or an ameba. You can treat it right away if it is. And, before you leave India, you should check too, cause they can’t check for this in the States. So we left the hotel about 7:30 am with a sample ( Sharon had given us a bottle) and we walked a while – skirting traffic, over train tracks where folks live in shacks and soon found the lab. $2.00 fee and walked back. They sent results via e mail- all clear. Packing day and we had another adventure getting a box sent home via the post office. The hotel has a shuttle service which we were able to make use of . They drove us to the P.O. and there are guys outside who will- for a fee- wrap up your box. The bizarre thing is that it must be sewn by hand ; enclosed in Fabric! And a guy did it for us- took him about 20 minutes. He sewed it with string- a loosely woven cloth. And we went inside the P.O. and they took it and that was that.$125.00 -will take a month. Tomorrow we have an early pick up-7:30- to go see the Taj Mahal – Hurray! And then onto Rajhastan. Namaste and good night- love Annie
