a sudden afternoon downpour
rain-scented air
heavy-laden, side-of-the-road fruit stands
juicy sweet mangoes
mango smoothies and mango milkshakes
the pool is clear today
Colleen and I navigating Commercial Street with both kids
McDonald’s chicken nuggets and french fries and soft-serve ice-cream
The God of Small Things – intoxicating, heart-breaking
learning to love salty snacks with my afternoon coffee, South Asian-style
sleeping in and breakfast in bed, thanks to my husband
Keli came over to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 with me
a fastidiously clean auto driver
the smell of honey and camomile in my tea
empty laundry baskets
an end to the Hindu festival
quiet
no more trips until we go home
twelve more days
