Day one on set

3:39 pm (next day): this trip continues to get better and better. This morning I got to sleep in till seven thirty and then woke up wrapped warmly in blankets. Kalaadevi was typing notes on her laptop and so I slowly got up, stretching, and got ready for the day, eating an English muffin with avocado and some juice for breakfast. Then we left the small one room apartment and drove out to the country to an estate owned by a friend of Kalaadevis who had lent her property for a film set. We weren't filming though, Kalaadevi was conducting a meditation class for the cast and crew members, anyone who wanted to come. In the end only the costume designer and the two directors came. Nevertheless it was a very beautiful morning, the owner of the property stayed in a gorgeous "cottage" built to look like 17,18 century French house. I say cottage but the house was in fact larger then mine. It was just so gorgeous. After the others had left Kalaadevi and I stayed and had some tea in these beautiful china cups, and I wandered around taking photographs. We finally took leave and then went shopping at whole foods and ate lunch then spent the evening in the apartment relaxing, doing homework, and catching up on things. I also Took a walk around the area and found an adorable little park.
