Scenes from the morning drive to school

I thought I'd post some of the daily sights we see on the commute to the girl's school. The bus from our current apartment to the school was full, so we have had to drive the girls to and from school each day (about 40 minutes EACH WAY). We are starting to recognize familiar landmarks along the way, such as the 'Pork Shop' which has a skinned pig hanging in front and the 'wholesale chicken shop' with live chickens in cages. One time, we saw bundles of live chickens (4-5) tied together by their legs, being loaded onto the back of a motorbike for delivery somewhere.



Fresh lime juice is very common here. It ranges from sour, to sweet (with and without soda), and salty. These two stands are selling limes. At the cafeteria near work, sweet lime soda costs 10 rupees (25 cents). We have not yet priced the juice from the street vendors.




If all goes well, we will be moving into our house Friday. On Wednesday, the relocation company received the key and began cleaning. On Thursday, it was discovered that due to being vacant for 2.5 months, the water line leading into the house had become plugged and there was no water! They had to dig up the front yard and clear the blockage, so that pushed moving day to Friday. We will pick up the key at 9AM Friday, and use Friday and the weekend to move in. Our car will also be delivered Friday as well.
