October 2nd was a holiday to commemorate Gandhi's birthday, and the only day for the "girls" to go out shopping. We met up for lunch at Sunny's with two other cool expats for a lovely lunch (although no liquor - on account of the holiday. Huh.)
After lunch, we headed over to Commercial Street for some shopping, with a heavy emphasis on jewelry! Luckily we brought out favorite jewelry shopping expert with us, and made it in to our favorite shop - a small place (about the size of a walk-in closet) with a large display and boxes and boxes of more choices if what you see isn't exactly right. At the end of it, the power went out (perhaps a sign we should stop)... but we had to wait for it to come back on so we could pay with a credit card given our bill exceeded our rupees on hand. It was a fun outing, and we wrapped up the holiday with dinner at home with our fave friends.
