gokarting, coconuts, emus, and the beach

So yesterday after the hospital, we all rented a car and went exploring. We went gokarting an hour away from Anna Nagar first and it's way better here than in the States! They were fast so we wore helmets but they also had cushions so my back didn't get brusied again. The track had u-turns and sharp turns but they weren't so bad that I spun around on them. After gokarting we drove 30 seconds down a back road to Prashanth's dad's farm where they have coconuts, almonds, flowers, and several other things. His uncle manages and watches the farm so he cut open some coconuts so we could drink the juice and eat the fruit. It was delicious! After that, we went to a really lame petting zoo that had love birds, cats, rabbits, emus, and geese. I went in the cage with the emu. There was a restaurant affiliated with the petting zoo (it was legit!) so we ate there. I just had a lassi because I was still full from my chicken biriyani lunch but the lassi was good! Our waiter had a terrible cataract in his left eye. After we left the restaurant, we went to Marina Beach. There is a fisherman slum right next to the beach and as we were driving through it to the safe, nicer part of the beach, our driver told us that at least 2 people get killed there a night. The beach was beautiful. I stood right where the tsunami hit, and it was incredible! The waves were so big so close to shore. Since it was dark when we were at the beach, someone lit off firecrackers in the distance. It was very pretty. Today I think we are going to a Bollywood movie, unless Dr. M gets pizza with us.
