Old City Fun ;)

Today we ventured out to the old part of the city.... First Stop... The Spice Market...
We took auto rickshaws to the metro, took the metro train, then took cycle rickshaws to the spice market. It's a fun place to go. Everyone in hustling and bustling all around - it's fun!
There are a lot of fun people in this market :)
This guy had a good smile :)
Next stop was the Friday M0sque. It's the largest M0sque in our country. It's actually one of the only M0sques that women can actually enter.
We all went up to the top of the Mineret... a LOT of stairs :) It's a lot of fun and you get a great view of the old part of the city!
More to come .... :)

These are awesome! Aashini looks a bit frustrated- ha! Don't they always seem to make funny faces when the camera comes out?! Looks like you guys are having a blast! I can't wait to see more adventures!

Just throw your parents in there- take em straight to the heart of old city. I think that mosque was one of my fave places in the city.

Where will you go next?

Climbing the minaret was one of my favorite things we did while there. Glad you took your parents.

aashini looks cold! is her head covered because of the weather, or because of mosque rules, or both?

Her head is covered because it's cool out and if we don't have it covered, other parents will lecture us :)
Erin G said…
so that's a universal trend then. :)

Campa Cola & Exploring :)

Today we had some things to do in the Central part of our city, so while we were there, we decided to take on some adventures :) Adventure #1 - the underground market. This market is pretty crazy. It's actually underground and has electronics & clothes mostly. They sell things pretty cheap, so it's an interesting place to go. Today we got an 64 Gig flash drive/pen drive for about $5. Crazy hunh? Here's Adam and Aashini in one of the stores. They're all REALLY small stores - about 10x10 feet I would guess (but I'm really bad at guessing that sort of stuff :)) We go here a lot to get things, so I guess it's not a new adventure, but an adventure nonetheless. Before the next part of our adventure (the real part of our adventure) we stopped for lunch. Aashini will always eat at McDonalds, so that's where we went :) They just started selling chicken nuggets here at McDonalds, so it's super easy to get her to eat there :) This McDonald's had high chair

Starbucks!

 Starbucks opened in our city last night!!  I'm not a huge coffee drinker... but I was excited about the opening!!  (I think I like Starbucks because of all the green! haha!... Aashini and Diya think the mermaid on the logo looks like me... haha! Maybe it's the weird wavy hair :)... not sure :) ) Anyway, we got there and the line was SUPER long!  The wait time was about 45 minutes!!!  There were so many people there!!!  I tried to get a pic of all the people... (that's why this picture is at an annoying angle... I was trying to get it all in in between the columns :))    Here's Aashini doing a jumping picture!!  The girls tried to do a jumping picture :) haha!  haha!  They had a few spills along the way :)  I never got them both jumping :)  Stuff for sale....  OK, one more because I think they are cute :) haha!  People waiting in line :) Some friends that made it inside! :)  We decided not to wait in line... So we'll
