Today was a light day. We decided to go with Suresh and Hugo to the Gandhi memorial (the eternal flame and museum). It was quite lovely. Great place to meditate. It's a rather large and well-manicured park. The eternal flame portion was very peaceful for the spirit. (Pictures to come).
Our driver (Vilay - pronounced Vijay) was rather despondent. He got a little drunk and was accused of picking up (stealing) some of the money being thrown around in the wedding parade. Evidently this money traditionally goes to the band. Speaking on his behalf, however, I left my money pouch and passport in Gopal's backpack in Vilay's car all night. I woke up at 5am realizing this. Everything was returned in its entirety. Don't tell Gopal but I tipped him 100 rupees (= approx. $2.50) a big deal to him.
Afterwards, we did a little shopping, exchanging of currency for our travels starting tomorrow, and came back to the hotel.
We start at 7am.
