I spy with my little eye Ajda in a dining room!
I spy with my little eye Ajda trying not to laugh
I spy with my little eye Ajda across from me at a romantic dimly lit dinner (cause apparently here in India we are a lesbian couple)
We had a day at the pool today, followed by a tour of her aunts home that is almost completed (on the property beside the palace) and then a historical palace tour with a historian. He was really cute and old... But he either was in love with Ajda's aunt or obsessed with the palace because at one point when he was talking about the restoration Esra did... He started crying... In front of the entire group. It was sweet and strange. I wasn't sure how to interpret his emotion.
I've finished two books here: pool read White Girl Problems; a Memoir by Babe Walker... Could only continue the book after the first chapter knowing that the psycho main character was fictional. If I'm going to read brain candy I'd rather it be Chelsea Handler!
I've also (almost completely) read Proof of Heaven by Eben Alexander III M.D. Which is quite interesting. I prefer fiction, but his perspectives and experiences on afterlife are really intriguing.. And recite concepts of what he says are concepts I've always sort of felt I've known deep down, if that makes sense? Many other writers describe what he describes also. Voltaire says "he is but an atom in mud" (or something along those lines, my memory is a bit rusty). The Dr experiences this when his brain dies. I don't know, I don't feel like getting into the meaning of life right now, nor is that what this blog is meant to be for, but basically this dr.s concepts are bang on with what I've always believed. Sort of cool. Sometimes while reading it though I thought it sounded like the good doctor perhaps dropped acid and was stuck in some weird trip. He sees sounds and hears colors for crying out loud. If that's not the stereotypical acid trip, I don't know what is. definitely an interesting read though!
Ajda read The Glass Castle by Jeanette Wills (my aunt recommended it to my mom who recommended it to me who recommended it to Ajda.... We all LOVED it. Please read it if you haven't, you will love it too)
And The Pelican Brief by John Grisham which she powered through in two seconds and is obsessed with. All I've been hearing the last few days is " GASP he killed another!" "EW! He killed someone else" "OH MY GOD what NOW?! He killed her!" Haha so, she recommends it if you haven't read it or seen the movie.
Tomorrow is our last day in paradise. Pool, lunch date, massages, and facials. AHHH it's been nice. Back to reality in t-minus two!!!
