it’s funny what girls will do for ice cream. Anybody, really, but girls in particular. Debbie and I, specifically. The girls were on leave again today (seriously, I think they have at least one holiday every week. These government schools will do anything to get a day off…) so English class was canceled and we headed into Kothanur to do the errand-running that we didn’t do on Monday. Which culminated in going to Cornerhouse.
In order to go to Cornerhouse, we had to hail an auto, ask him to drive us there, wait for us, and take us back. Thankfully, we had a wonderful man who charged us on the meter plus twenty rupees to wait from the get-go, no bargaining required. Phew. I had to direct him as we went, because I don’t know street names, have only been to Cornerhouse on the bike, and it looks a lot different in the night than the day. We made it, though, and ate our ice cream. It was Debbie’s first time, and it was fun watching her fall in love.
We laughed on the way back, because we spent more time in the auto than we did in the ice cream parlor. We also spent more money on an auto than we did on ice cream.
But it was so worth it.
