Recently Daniel and I have decided to walk home from school (our new classes are about 6km away). It only takes about an hour and a half and gives us an opportunity to see some more of India. With all the air pollution and potential death traps that you could walk through, the health benefits are questionable. I would also say that it's a great time for me to spend with Daniel while we walk hand in hand discussing life's wonders, but it's really hard to hear each other when there are constantly cars and scooters and buses blaring their horns.
We do get to pass lots of fruit stands, usually stopping for a refreshing coconut or fruit juice and it's better than any petting zoo since all the animals are roaming about and if you can catch one you can pet it (including packs of wild dogs, cats, pigeons, goats, lizards, etc).
Today we decided to walk a new path, thinking to stop by the national park that is only a couple of kilometers away from our house. Unfortunately, when we got there we found out that it is only open from 4:30am-8am and then opens again at night from 4pm-9pm. So we really just walked around the park and got to chase a peacock and see the ritzy part of town.

| Got this for 33¢ |
 |
| This is a custard apple. It is delicious. |
 |
| Fruit stand. 10 points to whoever can correctly identify all the fruit. |
 |
| Mmmm. |
 |
| Pile of coconuts. Probably like $5 worth. |
 |
| Random piles of trash. Not gonna miss this or the accompanying smell. |
 |
| Yes. It was trying to eat that tarp. It seemed to be doing pretty well. |
 |
| Just some wild goats. Someone will probably come along and eat them. We actually saw a man on a scooter with two dead goats on our way to class. |
