Day 24: One more day in Canberra
Even though it has only been about three weeks since we have left, it feels as if we have been away for months. But it’s so interesting – especially for Gaurav, who has always lived on a “corporate” schedule (as compared to Rachna the gallavanter) – to not know what day or time it is, and to not even care!
We were supposed to leave Canberra today to go to Wollongong, where there is a large and apparently very beautiful Buddhist Temple, where we were going to spend the night. Everyone insisted we stay an extra night but we had already booked our stay. I guess the kids must have conspired with the universe to make us stay because we found out the temple would be closed tomorrow (the only day we would have to see it), so we cancelled our plans and stayed – to everyone’s (including our) delight!
So today, we did absolutely nothing. We sat around the kitchen, eating and drinking and talking, surfed the net, and sat in the family room and watched movies together into the night.
Nothing much to report except that Ah! Doing nothing is totally underrated!
Thank you so much to Shelly, Amit, Indu aunty, and the kids (Rhea and Krish) for showing us so much love and taking care of us so well! We'll miss you!
