We're Back!!


We're back!! WHoo hoo! It's nice to be back, but it's also about 20-30 degrees hotter... so it's both good ad bad :) Some friends in the capital were moving out, so we bought some of their stuff from them... we really loaded up the car we rented. It was a funny trip back (although it wasn't that funny at the time)... The car was so packed out, that Adam and I had to both sit in the front seat with the driver. It was hot (about 113 degrees) and the AC in the car wasn't working (although the driver really wanted to have it on and it almost made it worse b/c it was blowing out HOT air)... We were all sweaty and gross and sitting really close to each other.... Before we got out of the capital we ran out of gas and had to coast into the gas station (going the wrong way on a one-way street) THEN the driver decides to go back a strange way and we got stuck in a lot of traffic. Then we had to pull over and talk to the cops and pay some sort of road tax in the middle of nowhere... Then, later in the middle of nowhere (again)... our taxi driver found another taxi driver he knew and we had to pull over and they talked for a while.... Eventually we got home... whoo hoo!!

Anyway, here's a couple of slide shows from our trip down south!! Here's some pics from the city we spent most of our time in... B-lore:



Here's some pics from our excursion to M-sore:

Funny Things 2 - American Fair Edition

We just got back from Roadtrip #8 in Macon, GA. It was an awesome trip!! So, before we head out on the next trip, we went to the North Florida Fair! The fair is always famous for it's fried foods... they fried everything!!... They had fried/breaded zucchini, Mushrooms, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onions, green tomatoes, okra, pickles, etc :) I had a lot of it too - YUM! Now, I'd heard of fried Snickers & twinkies (which they had) but they also had FRIED OREOS & PEANUTBUTTER CUPS :) The fair was cool. They had a shark show and a sea lion show... but our favorite was the pig races :) haha!!! It was hilarious!! Aashini was close up to the race until the pigs came - then she crawled up into Adam's lap really fast :) (as seen below) :) Pig races! haha! Cracks me up!

Cooking!

Cooking is sooo much harder here. THis is how you "puree" vegetables when you don't have a blender or food processor (or power). Some people have those things, but most people don't. This is my friend Gita. She's mashing up some onions. It's a marble slab that's not polished and they use a big rounded rock and just roll/mash! It's cool!!

Protesting

There's some political stuff going on in our city (and now the country) right now. People are peacefully fighting against corruption. It's been very interesting to follow. Tonight there was some protesting in our neighborhood. Here are some more protesting pictures. There will probably be more protesting to come... we'll see what happens!
