So much to write about today. I have another chapter to share in the rodent drama that has become my life. The hotel has gotten involved in trying to evict the rodent from my apartment. They boarded up where they thought he was getting in but that didn't seem to stop him. Then last night, they put large sticky traps down to try to catch him in the act. This concerned me because if it was successful and we caught the rodent, I would have to face him in the morning and I didn't relish staring down one angry rodent. Fast forward to this morning. I heard him last night so I knew he had been there. I cracked the door but didn't see anything. I snuck out slowly but still nothing. The rodent had taken the whole trap with him! There was evidence of his passing, some eaten bananas, a wrapper, rodent droppings, but no rodent and no trap. Well, this was the last straw for me. I requested a new apartment this morning. He's given me good blog material but I give up, he won.
My other story for the day happened shortly after I arrived at work. I went down to get some coffee at the local coffee shop. After navigating the road successfully and on my own I might add. The coffee shop could have been from the US, it is just like any Starbucks or Caribou. After spending time inside it was almost like being back in the US. But then I walked outside and on the sidewalk on a busy Mumbai street walked a large cow with a dog following right behind. They walked the whole way down the sidewalk while I watched. That site absolutely, without question, reminded me where I was and I know I'll miss events like that when I come home.
