Song of the day “Homeward Bound” by Simon and Garfunkel
Quote of the day: “I think I can smell your towel” - John
This morning shortly after John and I woke up, we heard a loud BANG. We turned around and looked through the door of our sitting room and out of our “sitting room” window. There were two men standing in the open area behind the guesthouse. One of them was holding a really old gun that looked like a musket. About 5 minutes later we looked back to check on them again and they were both crouched in the ankle high weeds that cover the open space behind the guesthouse. I hope they were hunting stray dogs. They moved around in the area for a while, and after a while we heard two more shots. Dog hunting is the only explanation we could come up with.
It is 3:30 now and I just saw a TVS 50 moped thing drive off with a stiff dead dog behind it. They were shooting stray dogs. I asked Kanav about shooting dogs later and apparently it is illegal so maybe the dog was rabid… or something. Haha
Later, John and I decided to go on a picture taking expedition around the hill. We haven’t taken very many pictures lately. In fact, I don’t think I have even taken out my camera in the past week. So here is some of what we got this morning. 
At about 5:00 we went to Kanav’s house and sat around for a while then we embarked on an epic journey to make pancakes. “the whole process of making and consuming pancakes took us five hours” -John (he didn’t actually say this until tomorrow the 25th) We drove into Vellore to a grocery store and got all sorts of stuff. Then we went to Shoebums (spelled wrong) house to make the pancakes. John and Leah cooked while Kanav and I went back out to try and find buttermilk. We could not find buttermilk. I was not surprised. But we did stop to try India’s finest hot dog at the “burger man” stand. It was interesting but not bad. I might actually get another one someday. It was also very spicy which I liked.
After pancakes Leah wanted to go back, so john dropped her off. Then we hung out for the rest of the night. John and I ended up crashing at Kanav’s apartment in the air conditioning!
