This weekend, we went back to Lonavala for a quick weekend getaway. Diego and 7 other guys played golf at Aamby Valley, a very swanky, private city about 90km southeast of Mumbai. The accommodations at Aamby Valley are for property owners, only. So Erika & Skylar (you can see her here in this picture, behind the high chair) and Luis & I hung out at a nice hotel/resort while the boys golfed. The Fariyas Hotel was very beautiful - indoor pool and outdoor pool with multiple water slides. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they had high chairs available; but not so surprised to see how unsafe & unclean they were. I described it to Diego as a "1950's Death Trap High Chair". Erika had the brilliant suggestion to use the waist strap of my ergo carrier to hold him in. I did, and it worked wonderfully!
On Wednesday, we are all on the road again - heading down to Goa for the wedding of two of Diego's co-workers, Frans & Surbhi. Pauline asked if the wedding was "love marriage" or "arranged marriage". When she heard the names of the bride and groom she said, "Oh, definitely love marriage!" I should have lots of great stories from that trip. The wedding is a full weekend of traditional Hindu events. Erika and I, in an attempt to embrace some of the culture here, bought Sari's to wear to the ceremony on Saturday (and our husbands will be in Kurta's). Friday afternoon, all of the ladies will have henna painted on their hands. Frans, the groom, will ride an elephant in to the ceremony. Should be a great time.
