Friday, April 24
We woke up late on Friday. (From now on, just assume this is the case unless we tell you otherwise.) The house was empty, as Shabana and the kids were at work and school. Not everyone is lucky enough to be on vacation! We called Phuppu, who invited us over for breakfast.
We used Google Maps to find the way, and the results were, well, unexpected. Google told us to get on the freeway, drive south about seven miles, get off the freeway and re-enter going north, and then drive back to the same exit from which we’d started. Wow. We started talking about using different software to guide us, though I’m sure they all have their quirks.
At Phuppu’s house, we were forced to eat yummy homemade Indian food—including fresh parathas, eggs, aloo, and keema. We finished with fresh-out-of-the-oven apple crisp and ice cream.
After lunch, we dropped Selmaan off at his job at Target, then spent more time with Phuppu and Phuppa. When Selmaan was off work, we picked him up and went back to Ahmed and Shabana’s for dinner. Ahmed was home, so we got a second tour of the basement, this time from the engineer’s point of view.
For dinner, we had a yummy pot roast with mashed potatoes, gravy, and salad. For dessert, apple pie and ice cream was served, but we were too full to have any! Sabreen had a friend, Gerilee, staying for the night as well, so it was a full house. We’d planned to watch Slumdog Millionaire, but everyone was way too tired, so we started a couple of loads of laundry, dropped Selmaan at Phuppu’s, and went to bed.
