Splitting the Pot

Well, I guess there is more than one loser in this round of who gets Delhi Belly first. As Maren noted, Kailey was the big loser this morning. I feel horrible for her as she has talked about visiting the Taj Mahal for several years. She is understandably upset about missing it. We were going to try and shoot for Thursday to go, but then eight hours later, Justin lost his lunch. Thankfully we had a gallon-sized Ziploc bag in the car, and thankfully the integrity of the bag had not been compromised. Kailey is still down. Justin is still down. Maren and I both just got back from dinner and at about the same time began to ask each other how the other felt. Neither one of us wants to move very much though so far, dinner has only been a one-way street. If one or both of us gets this, tomorrow is going to be miserable. We have to be back at the Med Center in the morning, and then we have to travel to the US Consulate to apply for her Visa. Hopefully, the two younger kids do not get this as that would really not be much fun at all.

The time at the zoo today turned out to be pretty miserable. As noted, Justin was working on becoming ill so he had a lousy time. Elijah was just a big grumpy-head. I followed his lead and became a big grumpy-head myself. Maren had to tote Sneha around all over the place so she was pretty wiped out. Thankfully, Sneha and Carl seemed to have a nice time. Unlike US zoos where they work hard to separate the animals from the people, this zoo allowed some of the animals to interact with the guests freely. One macaque monkey decided the ice cream cone a lady was eating looked might tasty and began to attack her for it. She screamed and threw it down. Then the monkey went after a child. Another man grabbed the cone and threw it toward the monkey who thankfully took the bait and stopped chasing the people. Carl got most of it on video. I can almost hear David Letterman saying something like, "Heeeeyyy kids. Give the monkey some of that ice cream."
