Just a little bit on the houseboat.

Jamil. Hi, we had come back from Leh at 11:45 pm, so then we all were very tired because of the bumpy track in the car. Anyway, the next day we took a tour through the canals and went to a papier mache shop and got some little things like papier mache elephants and turtles. Then we came back and we fished for just little fish in the afternoon but then came night fall and we ate dinner, don't worry, it was not fish! Then after dinner we got to fish some more and I caught 2 medium fish about as wide as my head. But Alia did not catch any so that was not good but we are going fishing tomorrow night. I hope she will catch some tomorrow night. Today we went to the floating market at 5:00 in the morning so we took a boat to the market and it was very crowded with boats trying to sell fruits and vegetables like radishes and beans and lots, lots more. We got chocolates from the chocolate man but they were not very good. Then we went back to our house boat and at that time it was 6:30 am. We started to fish for the small ones. They bit Alia's leg when she stuck macaroni in her toes. Then we had breakfast and we took some bread from breakfast and fed the fish. I was sticking my foot in the water and I slipped in the water with all my clothes on! I got out and mom and dad asked how I fell in so I told them. Mom said you might as well go for a swim before we go and I had a great time in the water. Then we went to the internet cafe. That's all for now, bye! ! Chai garam chai !

This is to show Frances in Japan what our house boat looks like from the outside.

This is the chocolate seller.
He is using a balance to weigh our chocolates and you can see the floating market in the back.
