Starting to wrap things up

Not much to write about tonight. For the most part the last two days since we've gotten back from Alwar have been about comparing and consolidating our data from the talks with the people in the village. We ended up getting quite a bit of information from the short few hours we spent there (although we can't even imagine how much we could have gotten with more time with those people).

Dr. Lall has been helping us get everything together and on the right track while we prepare presentations and papers to take back to present at USI.

Dr. Banerjea finally was able to join us from Calcutta last night. After getting here she took us out for some South Indian food (we have been eating Punjabi Indian food, which is the Delhi area). It was delicious (perhaps it was just the break from the Punjabi food we have been having since we've gotten here, but I'm tempted to say it was some of the best we've had). We had some sort of fried bread folded over with some potato based food inside with several dips (I cannot ever remember the names of anything we eat).

Afterwards we walked down the strip of stores where the restaurant was located called the Green Park Market, stopping for sweets and gelatto.

After work today D.J. and I took a taxi down to the strip of emporiums from all over India where we each got the last of our gifts. It was the first time we had been out very far on our own without the watchful (and hurrying) eye of Bachan, We took an auto-rickshaw back (think green over-sized bumper cars with yellow tarp-like material over the top). Our days in India are quickly coming to an end, so we're trying to get as much done and experienced while we still can.
