In the Mountains! - Thanksgiving 2011

This year for Thanksgiving we went to the Mountains again :) Our train was 3 hours late leaving... so we spent some time in the train station before getting on the train :)

BUT...we made it!! The air was clean & cool, the sky was blue, the water was awesome... it was fun an relaxing!

We had lots of opportunities to hang out with friends and play!! Here is a pic of a fun game of Frisbee Golf :)

And of course, a Thanksgiving Day Football game!

Here we are eating our Thanksgiving meal :) It was super fun :)

We went on a safari one day. We were looking for tigers. We never saw one, but we saw lot of tiger tracks! In this pic you can see tiger tracks AND peacock tracks! :)

We stopped at a little store in the middle of the safari (that was surrounded by an electric fence!) and when we got out of our jeeps, the monkeys came running in and looked for things to take! One monkey even started eating some of the car!

On our last night we had S'mores! The folks that were there from the US brought marshmallows, Hershey's Chocolate & Graham Crackers!

Our train ride home was uneventful! Last year this same train stopped on the tracks for 4 hours - yuck! and was really late! BUT this year our train was only about 30 minutes late! The kiddos slept for some of the trip... it was pretty easy!

I have a bunch of pictures posted on Facebook - to see them click HERE!

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!

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!
