Today Leya and I picked up Marianne at the airport.She bought a pair of white pants in the same design as a pair she bought last time she was here, about 20 years ago.Leya got a polar bear, that she named Emmi Pari, and we got magazines, candy and bearnaise sauce. Yummie!
Tomorrow our Swedish friend Marianne arrives to Delhi. Looking forward to meet her and the candy and magazines she is bringing. She will be our guest baker at Leya's Café as soon as we open.
Yesterday we went to see a movie. Leya's first. Tangled (Trassel), the best film since the first Shrek. This is before the movie.This is after! Happy girl! I'm amazed when they create a movie that appeals to both kids and adults.
The problems are not over yet. They've stopped the renovations again since one of the nearby hotels were closed today. They can't afford to risk to loose their hotel guests because of the renovations of the café and that is completely understandable.
We had a small earthquake the other night. It felt like you slept next to a road and a big truck passed. Strange, but not big enough for Leya and Nicholas to wake up.
Leya is now called Pari, angel in hindi, pronounced like Paris in French. This photo is from the Christmas play in school and it shows Leya is really a pari.
We are glad to have two more artists that are going to show their art in our café.
Thomas Taylor lives in Hawaii and he paints with lots of colors. Read more about him here. The young Tess Waltenburg is a multi creative person and a very talanted photographer. See more of her photos here.
I found these fantastic blankets, or maybe bedspreads since they are 225 x 225 cm, in the bazar today. Lovely texture and perfect for the whole family to hide under a chilly day.
We have sponsored the theater group Teaterfolket, (the theater people) in Malmö, Sweden, with beautiful classic Indian clothes. They soon have premiere with the children's play Aladdin.
