So Taylor's back from his village capers with SKS, and he really wanted to take a little vacation. The truth is, we are both pretty dang exhausted. Everyday feels like a job hunt, and I guess it really is. We're hunting for good partner organizations for HELP to work with now and in the future. Anyway, a vacation could be just the thing. This is the only week we could do it, since the other country director will be vacationing the next two weekends and then leaving for home. Taylor and I went to the train station on Tuesday to inquire about tickets and left having reserved a week's stay in Vizag.
Vizag is a smaller city on the eastern edge of the state. We're staying in a cheap hotel right on the ocean. We can hear the waves from our doorstep, and we only have to walk a minute or two to step into the ocean itself. Not to mention, we have the beach totally to ourselves. I don't think anyone else is staying at the hotel. Or maybe they just don't like to swim. Whatever the reason, I'm not complaining. It's totally worth the 12 hours overnight on the train and the cheap price to stay here.
The man who booked our hotel was wondering how we could possibly stay for a week in Vizag without getting really bored. But you know, it's been great. We've been reading and talking and swimming. We finally have some time to put into figuring out our life after this summer. It's a much-needed break.
