toasty

Last night when I got home from work I checked the thermometer in my living room and it read 35 Celsius. Which is 95. Needless to say I turned the AC on right away. Now you are probably thinking "why didn't you have the AC on all day?". Well, first, I think it is a waste, second, electricity is pretty expensive here, and third there isn't enough power here for all the ACs so when it gets really hot there are frequently power cuts so everyone is careful to only use the AC when they need it.

Last night the power went out as always just as I was in the bathroom getting ready for bed. It is always an adventure. I am becoming an expert at walking in the dark but I keep my cell phone with me at all times so that when the power goes out I can use the light from the screen to help navigate. I burned my finger lighting the match for the candle though. I have no idea how I did it. I feel like a bit of a dingbat for it actually.

So, even though it is super hot I'm planning on sightseeing tomorrow so I should have updates on Monday about some of the fun and exciting places in Delhi.

Have a good weekend all....and happy early birthday to Wyatt :)
