Roses Everywhere!!

With help from the receptionist at work, I had flowers delivered to the office before I left to get Jennie from the airport. I asked what the Indian tradition for types/colors of flowers to give a loved one, and she said "without a doubt, red roses". It wasn't my first choice, but when in Rome (or India)...

I paid about $7 for 24 red roses!!! They dipped the tips of each rose in silver glitter...very different than a typical flower arrangement back home.

I had also called the hotel and requested that they bring flowers and chocolate to the room for when we got back from the airport. Nothing was here when we arrived, so I made a call to the hotel from our office the next morning. Jennie stayed at the room to recover from a long day of travel, and a lady showed up with....24 MORE red roses!! About 15 minutes later, the same lady showed up again with chocolates. Finally, after another 15 minutes, she showed up with a plate of fresh fruit...Jennie was a little blown away. :-) To top it off, when she went to work that first Monday, they gave her another 24 yellow roses!
