Forts and Fun!

I still have a few more Gulf pictures I wanted to post... so here it goes...
One day we went to check out an old fort. You can see it in the top right corner of the pic below.
If you looked at the corners of the fort just the right way it kinda looked like a person :)
It's fun seeing forts in different countries.
Aashini had fun playing at it. We met a family while we were there and she played with their little girl for a while ;)
This was the grandmother of the little girl.
This is another relative of the little girl that Aashini was playing with. Anytime I picked my camera up she would pose (even if I wasn't taking picture sin her direction - haha!)
The view from the fort as we were leaving was awesome!

There are things that drive me crazy (like people urinating on the sidewalks - yuck!) but thankfully honking is not one of them because we hear it pretty much 24/7. We saw this poster the other day (below) and thought it was funny... BUT not as funny as the Hindi poster. The Hindi poster pretty much said that 'Honking is bad for your health' - haha ! Horns are actually a pretty necessary part of driving here. You don't really look behind you when you drive (most people either don't use their side mirrors, don't have side mirrors, or just have them folded in). When you drive, you just drive forward and you honk at the person in front of you to let them know that you're there - simple right? Sure, it's a little noisy, but you never have to look behind you :) If you go to that company's website it says: "Have patience at the traffic signals, let the signal t...
