For 5 days I did nothing that I normally do on vacation. I didn't write in my journal, read, take pictures, explore the city by foot, visit museums nor do any other tourist things. Instead, I focused on taking a vacation from the stresses found nearly 6 months into a year long vacation. I took a vacation within a vacation, if you will. It was an ideal setting: a friend's, Uma's, comfortable Bangalore apartment. And, Uma made the time even better, which included driving us around the city, showing us where to shop and acquainting us with great restaurants.
So, what did I do? I took hot showers (turns out: what I thought was a sandal tan washed away!), watched satellite TV; took a spinning class at a nearby Gold's Gym; ate American-styled pizza; went to the mall; sat in a coffee shop; and watched a fun movie, The Bourne Ultimatum, which I would have named The Bourne Penultimatum. As you may already know, I changed the website, and finished changes to two new Picasa albums:

Also, since I'm sure you have extra time at work, check out the changes to the maps page. I even added a bonus chart at no extra charge to you. (No matter what I do, I'll always be an engineer.)
After all that I left Bangalore Friday morning feeling restored, if somewhat stunned to be back on the road.
