Old City Fun ;)

So, a few days ago, we went around the Old part of the city with our friends the Highs. They know all sorts of cool places to go and see in that area, so it was fun :)
They had one of those "Flat Stanleys" so they were taking some fun pictures with him as they went :)
I caught this guy picking his nose :) haha!
Here's Adam with Aashini in the depths of the old part of the city :) I thought this monkey was making a HILARIOUS face :) haha!
We saw some really fancy decorated temples. It was really interesting and fun :)
And... at the end of the day Aashini had her first Metro ride :)

Awesome shot of the temple! Nat. Geographic worthy! We forgot about flat stanley! We need to send another one of those around... our first attempt got lost somewhere in postal land :(
you rock!

Cool pics. What cracks me up is not only is that guy picking his nose (big time) but he looks like he is tied up too? What in the world is that all about? LOL!

I can't believe you caught that monkey grin on camera! amazing.

I'm glad I am not the only one who noticed the nose guy all tied up- that's odd! The pics are so neat! I really like the first one and the one of the temple- so cool. How did Aashini like the Metro?

Aashini is a super extrovert already (which is good sincewe live in a city of 17 million people!) so she LOVED it :) haha!

haha I was gonna ask about the guy being tied up too!
Aashini is making a cute face on the metro.

I think that guy (that's picking his nose) has his head wrap thing tied around him... still don't know why... maybe just playing around... haha!
the monkey one is hilarious! why was the man tied up? oh, wait, i see that about a dozen other people commented on that...
and is riding the metro there as traumatizing as they make it look on 'the amazing race'? everytime an american woman gets on a metro out there on the show, she gets groped by creepy men... aashini doesn't look too worried.

Well, we're on the Metro (which is an underground and above ground subway type thing) and it's nice - crowded but nice :) ... and usually on the Amazing Race they have ridden on trains... and the ones that they've ridden on are completely crazy!(not all trains are like that though - some are awesome! :))

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!

We're BACK! (with Rats!)

We made it back! The flights were so long (especially our 6 hour layover right off the bat) but we made it!! We flew from Tallahassee to Memphis (where the long layover was) and then Memphis to Detroit (see picture below). It was snowing in Detroit! The only snow we saw all the time in the states was at the airpots! haha! We left Detroit about an hour late because they had to De-ice the plane! I'm from the south so I had no idea that they did that... and that it would take so long! haha! We were an hour late coming into Amsterdam (where it was snowing too!) and had to rush to our gate (it was a blur of wooden shoes!)... When we got in the plane we had to wait about 1.5 hours while they de-iced that plane! So we got into the Captial at about 2:00 am!! When we got home we were welcomed to a rat infestation in our bathroom!!! EWWWW!!!! Aparently, if the toilet isn't flushed for a couple months and dries out, then rats can crawl UP the TOILET!!! yes... nice... They wrecked our ba...
