In the intense summer heat, Kolkata natives look forward to the monsoon (rainy) season because of the cool(er) air it brings. Today I experienced my first real taste of monsoon season. Rain fell all day, somewhere between a sprinkle and a shower, and dampened everything. The drops simultaneously produced refreshing coolness and a constant, thin layer of mud beneath our feet. We decided we would opt for the drop in temperature over clean toes any day.
I thought I taught you better and to always have your toes clean? Such an honor for your drawings to be traced over by the women using henna. It has been raining here but not monsoonly and temp about 80. Strawberry picked twice already. Delicious. Luke and Michelle over for dinner Friday nite. Will have spagetti and salad and fresh bread. Love, Dad and Renate
