Hello All..it seems the pictures did not come through. So I will try again. I am being treated like one of the Gilani Family attending parties and dinners with Munira and Hanif. Their circle of friends and family are so warm and hospitable. I am still battling jet lag...have now taken Judith's advice not to nap in the afternoon..despite overwhelming need too!. Munira treated me to a massage yesterday...does wonders for jet lag. Was also reminded how conservative we North Americans are about body treatments. I started to venture outside on my own yesterday..first walking the 5 blocks home from the Gilani home and then this morning going for a brisk walk. It is interesting being pretty much the only white girl on the street. And yes the streets are safe here around the hotel-- that is for you Mom! I also tried the local breakfast cuisine today -- potato curry and a flat onion bread....yummy but a little heavy! I am becoming a tea drinker.....love the chai. So as you can see...I am starting to get my feet under me. Starting to make a list of supplies I need -- things like a robe - why didn't I pack one,
evening bag -- who knew, clock, tray for toiletries, candles, room snacks ...you know things to make one's room feel at home. Tomorrow I will venture out to the supermarket. This afternoon I am joining the Gilani's at an afternoon party. Will see many people that I met last night -- from all over the world -- Japan, Bosnia, US, UK -- there is a wonderful international community here. Hope all is well at home. Cheers, Jan
