Funny Things - Welcome to the 50s!

I got a swimming membership at a local pool. I LOVE to swim!! I'm so happy to be swimming again :) It's almost the only way I can do exercise here. I get dehydrated very easily, so swimming is the perfect exercise for me when it's super hot! I love it too :) Anyway, on the first day I went, I saw this awesome old vibrator belt "exercise" machine outside (the pool also has a workout facility). It cracked me up!!! (you can look at a funny old picture of people using these back in the day if you click here).
If you look closely at this picture you can see the brand of it - "Mona Lisa" hahahaha! That made us laugh a lot! It's just funny to me... the painting of the Mona Lisa doesn't show her body at all, so it's just funny that an exercise machine was named after her :)
It was even funnier that it was out in the parking lot :) I just had to play with it :)

This just makes me laugh... and makes me curious about "pool culture" where you live. Hmm... perhaps I'll have to send you an email with my questions.

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!
