Another long bus ride took us back to Delhi, to the EROS hotel which we stayed at in the beginning of the journey. On Friday Feb 24 we went to a few Rotary projects. We saw a Rotary community center under construction, visited a blood bank (great for me, more medical induced nausea) and had lunch with a Rotary Club. We also visited a clinic for prosthetics. I was probably the sickest I've been while on the trip, but managed to take enough drugs to tour with the group. I did feel about 2 sizes smaller, which was the ONLY bonus to the traveler's sickness! Our leader Ann Lee was very sick with laryngitis, so she stayed in the hotel the whole day. Our afternoon was pretty free so we were on our own for dinner. Sarah, Dorothy, Lefty, Brenda and Julia met up for dinner at the hotel, and also got to see an authentic Indian Wedding. Sarah and I have decided this is the best way to be wed. Now if we can only convince our men...
We spent Saturday at the Polio Summit, where the Indian Prime Minister spoke to the auditorium. Ann Lee also spoke later in the afternoon. It was great, but also a bit boring for a gal who really can't handle medical things. I skipped the summit on Sunday, just could NOT do it. Instead I opted to get a manicure and eat a leisurely breakfast and read the paper. After lunch Sarah met me and we went SHOPPING! Another great day indeed.
