Fighting a cold in India

Lufthansa was kind enough to not only return my luggage but also give me an airplane cold. :) Unfortunately, I was the first to get the cold - I love to be a trendsetter - but it appears we were all exposed to it on the plane, since student by student the sore throat and stuffy head is spreading. In spite of my better judgement, I trotted off to the herbal/botany field trip yesterday at a local university, and I could not miss last night's shopping trip at a very cool market here. I nearly passed out on the way home, but I got some very cool stuff for very little money - trying to replace all the jewelry that the lucky wife of some luggage handler is wearing. If you all have any requests, go ahead and make them, because at these prices, I can treat all my friends. :)

With a lot of drugs and sleeping during every break, I am able to still see what needs to be seen. Today we are shopping for books for the village school here and going to see another museum, so I can't miss that despite the faucet that has been turned on inside my nose. So, this is short and sweet, 'cuz I'm already out of energy to type. Achoo.
