India day 7 - Delhi

Highlights:

• birthday party for my friends' 5 yr old... complete with an indoor bouncy castle and to-die-for chocolate cake made by a Canadian bakery
• Making a string doll with the 5 yr old's nine year old sister
• dinner at a chic Italian restaurant to celebrate the 5 yr old's dad's 39th birthday. Yum!
• a before sunset stroll by myself in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood
• drawing bunnies, genies, and puppies with my 5 yr old and 9 yr old nieces
• watching the five yr old's eyes glow as her birthday presents towered in front of her
• talking with my friends M and P about their newly-found grudging acceptance of Barbies
• going to a party being held by a writer at her barsati, and meeting journalists, artists, anthropologists, and even a former race car driver there!
• going to sleep!
