Fun Finds!

Well, we were in the capital city last week and got to see a lot of fun things... we always have an interesting trip to and from the capital and we get to see interesting things. We always see trucks that are just filled with people! Some of them look like they could fall off at any minute! It always makes me laugh! While in the capital city our friends showed us a new restrauant that really pumped me up!!!! One thing that we have really missed while being here is Mexican food!! I've gotten pretty good at cooking refried beans and other things that are good with Mexican food, but there really isn't a place to go out and get it (we don't have Taco Bell or El Chico here :)) Some restrauants will have Mexican food on their menu, but it has a Masala flavor (the popular seasoning here) and just tastes like the local food. BUT - this cool new restrauant opened up... it's called the Taco Maker and it ROCKS! I got to have my favorite - Nachos!!! and every meal deal comes with a serving of Tater Tots (Adam's favorite!) so we were pumped!! After going to the Taco Maker, we saw this store, and Adam had to have a picture :)

Yum we ate at Taco Maker again last week... we went to the other one and they actually had the ice cream machines working. The avalanche thingies weren't quite Dairy Queen but they were pretty good.

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!

Dusshera 2012

This year, our neighborhood was quite active for Dusshera.  At one end of our street, one of the major political parties here, set up a Dusshera celebration.   Here are some guys putting the effigies together and filling it full of fireworks! They had quite the political statement for their celebration.  (Basically that expensive water, fuel, electricity, diesel, gas, etc and FDI (bringing in foreign companies like Wal-Mart) are like Raverna (the demon god)... and are the evils of today....)  Here's their set-up at the end of our street.... you can't see it very well, but they had all three effigies there that they burned....  They burned VERY quickly at this one... So quickly that by the time I pulled out my camera, it was already on the ground!!  Our street looked like those CNN videos of rioting cities :) haha!!  There was burning stuff all over the street :)  Many people will get a piece of the leftover wood/bamboo...

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 insid...
