| John watches while Julie and Abby shop |
Shibu and Julie and the children took John and I shopping in
Kottayam. We had a great day seeing what a small city was like in India. It is
very different from home. Most of the shops are small and crowded with their
merchandise. Some of the larger stores have a huge number of employees. The one
clothing store we went into had all kinds of saris which is the typical dress
for Indian women. They had everything from everyday saris to wedding saris that
cost a small fortune. The colors are indescribable. Every color imaginable!
I purchased a pair of sandals ($4.00) as that is the
footwear of choice here and sin ce everyone takes off their sandals and leaves
them by the door before they go into a building it made it so much easier.
Then we had lunch at an Indian restaurant, which was
delicious! John couldn’t get enough of the buttered chicken!
We stopped at a Bible Book Store to get the gifts for the
graduates – a commentary set. John browsed the books there (you know how he
likes books!) because they had a large English section. Then it was home where
we only had a half hour to get ready for the Saturday Evening Monthly Birthday
party at the Children’s home.
