India - Day Three

Did we mention that this is a working trip too?  Ken spent the morning visiting showrooms for possible textile manufacturers (that's pillows and stuff for us laypeople). He found the factories that make pillows for William Sonoma Home and Bergdorf Goodman - all and all a good day for him.  Mike spent the morning in the hotel, caught up on email and feels pretty good about staying in touch with the office.  Ken returned to the hotel in the early afternoon to find Mike in the sunny courtyard, plopped in a large wicker chair, sipping an iced latte and musing over his email.  He insisted he had been working hard all morning.  As Ken quipped the other day, he could live in a 5 star Indian hotel for the rest of his life.

We then hailed a cab (lucky for us it was the same Sikh driver we had on the first day) and we returned to the Phoenix hospital for our second appointment.  The receptionist and lab technician seemed a little disorganized this time, but got us in for our appointments.  At the hospital we met a very nice Slavic couple and their son who were doing the same rounds we were.  Both the man and woman were over six feet tall and blonde.  They seemed just as out of place as Mike did.  We were there about an hour and then Dr. Shivani's driver took us down the road to her office to meet with the attorney's assistant and sign the papers.  (Yes, Mom, we read them before signing!)  It was a relatively quick visit and everyone at the office was incredibly nice, informative and accomodating.  It made us very comfortable with the entire process.

All of that being done, our friendly driver drove us across town to the tailor where Mike had my first fitting.  Ken insisted on closely tailored shirts, which is a bit of change for Mike who likes his clothes loose, loose, loose!  Did we mention that the shirts are only $25?
