We were 12 this morning at the Mudiali fisherman’s Cooperative also known as Nature Park. We walked around the lakes and saw many cormorants. Margherita and Anais snapped lots of pictures that will one day be up on the blog site. Petra has a p i cture of herself wth a g i normous Tangra f i sh. After our walk we reached the Taj and found it completely over run by French sailors. Madhuri promptly sat down at our table and after 9 they had all cleared out and we could calmly get seats and breakfast.
Madhuri and i were able to contrbute our money for the coming 6 months. We have also placed an order for T shirts to be made and worn by us for the kolkata Marathon coming up next weeend whch is also kristna’s and Petra’s last hash as her stint in Cal wth iBM is over. She is keen to compete in the women’s 10.5 and this is a chance for the hashers to support a fellow hasher to victory.
