I knew it would happen. It eventually had to. Both Deb and I rinsed our toothbrushes under the faucet in the bathroom. You get a little careless and you could be dealing with the traveler’s dilemma. Fortunately, we’re just at the one-week mark and really are doing well overall. Just need a little more sleep at night and the world will be good.
We hope to get our residency letter tomorrow which will give us the ability to look for a place to stay. The hotel is comfortable, but confining. We’re only about three kilometers from Deb’s office, but as you’ve seen, it takes a while to get there. I’m hoping to rent a bicycle to get around. On Wednesday I go to see a friend of a friend of a friend who has an outsourcing business in Segunderabad for which he would like to increase his US sales. I’ll get to see his operation and talk about what we can do.
Deb and I have been taking walks around the hotel and convention center grounds. It reminds me of the old “The Prisoner” series where you have surroundings that look like you have your freedom, but there are boundaries that you can’t and shouldn’t cross. Yesterday we noted that the complex has its own waste water treatment facility. From the looks of things, the waste water is recycled to use for landscaping and fire protection. Now that’s not unusual as anyone who visits Florida knows that the watering systems are non-chunky waste water.
Well, I have some phone calls to make today and some stuff to get done for Deb. This is a short post.

ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying this Paul!!!! Great writing - I feel like I'm there with you guys. Good thing I'm not as it would be tight in the hotel room, and I'm not much good for 6am mass,English or not. I'm impressed you caught the thrown-in English: you were obviously paying attention Young Man!
