We get photocopies and passport photos in this little alley in Upper Coonoor.The mosque is right behind it. Isn't it pretty?
Just a quick note on healthcare. Here, they do not do preventative care, so getting a flu shot was sort of cumbersome. That cost me $30, including the medicine. So, I have to tell them what I need, requiring me to be pretty well-informed. People do not have primary-care physicians. I have one because I asked for one, and Dr. Prince understood the concept.

Nice! I like seeing your apartment from the outside and furnished on the inside. It looks cozy and comfortable. And your little neighbor girl looks like a charmer. So cute and elegant with her haircut and earrings. And the rules about the park are sweet. I like how they're trying not to sound too harsh... anyway, I love you and I miss you. Kisses.
