We’re only here for seven weeks, but here are snippets of life in Hyderabad, and what we’re all up to outside of ministry time!
The boys help Mom sari shop.
The drive home from the hospital.
Eli loves transportation around here. No seat belts. No doors. Just parents’ very strong grip around the waist. Traffic is chaos here, but moves pretty slowly overall in the city. These guys are strong in defensive driving skills!
Of course we love the extra houesmates that come out in the evening!
There are chai stands everywhere. The one on our block is enjoying a lot of extra business this month! We have had an in-home lesson on preparing Indian chai… But we still like the professionals.
On the roof with Carly. There is a small wall around the edges, but Mom and Dad don’t complain that the stairway access is always locked except when the building manager is up there tinkering around and invites the kids to play for a little while.
Fetya got some free henna painting on a home visit. Such a lovely beauty tradition.
Found American-ish food! (Abe was enjoying it too much to pause for a picture, that’s all.)
Wild relay races for Fetya’s birthday
Nehru Zoological Park. Unanimous highlights: reptile house and witnessing a live croc fight. (And the playground, of course.)
Fetya’s lunch of choice: four samosas, a veg ball, and Sprite. Yes, this did get some concerned looks from the staff. (“So full afterwards,” she conceded.)
Went to GVK1 (Western Mall) for a day out, and visited “Fun Zone”. Boys had a BLAST on bumper cars, the mirror maze, air hockey, and whack-a-pig. It’s also home to Hard Rock Cafe Hyderabad: nachos, hot dogs, burgers, and apple crisp (not to mention Heinz ketchup and yellow mustard!!)
