Today, was a relaxing day. Some people went to the Baha'i Temple a.k.a. the Lotus Temple and went to a market to attend the Pineapple Festival, but sadly there was no festival going on. The rest of us went to Lodi garden which is a huge garden where people have picnics, sit and relax, mediate, do yoga. There are also beautiful ruins there. After being there for about an hour or so some of us went to GK-1 N Block Market because a girl who came 4 days later wanted to get some indian clothes and some us wanted to return to FabIndia and get other stuff went. GK-1 has the biggest Fab India in Delhi. The others at the Lodi Garden stayed there longer and then went to a market. Everyone returned in time to go to Cate's House. Cate is the director in charge of the IES program in India. She lives in walking distance of the Residence, so she invited us to have tea with her, her husband, her there friends. After that we wen to see a Bharatanatyam performance. The performance was amazing and we really enjoyed it. Seeing it made me miss it and I would love to take classes here. After that we went to a South Indian restaurant which is different food from North Indian. It was good, but most of us were full from eating a late lunch. After dinner we came back the residence. Tomorrow is studying and packing since we move into our host family's homes Sunday evening!
