Retreat! - On the Way Home

On our last day we woke up a little earlier than normal, had breakfast and then got everything ready to head to the train station :)
Right before we left, the mountain across from us was covered with mountain goats! It was cool!
We had to rush to the train station and we thought we were going to miss our train, but we made it! During the train ride I took a few pictures out of the door (if you haven't ridden a train here before - you can totally open the doors in between cars and hang out and take pictures and whatever else you want to do!). Anyway, you get so see some fun things if you do that, so I took some pictures. I think this village looks really cool :)
The lighting was pretty crazy in this picture - I thought it was really interesting.
These guys wanted to cross the street but had to wait for our train to pass....
At one point we decided that it would be a good nap time. Diya was a little too excited to nap - haha!
Our train stopped at the last stop before the Capital and we were thinking we were going to make it to the Capital on time!.... little did we know that we would sit at that train station for about 4 hours! We spent a lot of time at this train station!
Diya was still trying to sleep, but she had too much entertainment... here is our DJ seatmate with Diya :) haha! He was called DJ Virus :)
Finally we started going again :) yay! Here's some people making poop patties. Many people use this for fuel.
A lady selling guavas by the train.
Some guys selling peanuts by the train.
Aashini trying to take a nap :) She watched an episode of Dora before going to sleep :)
Aashini and her new buddies playing on someone's iphone to pass the time.
After a 30 minute taxi ride, an 9 hour train ride and an hour taxi ride - we made it home!

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
