It's no joke when I say that I EASILY eat 4 to 5 times as much food in India then when I'm at home. The problem is that it is SO GOOD and everyone wants to feed you. It's a sign of efffection to feed to your guests, and it is almost insulting when you refuse to have 2nd and 3rds. You wont find any food like this in NYC or DC, maybe out in Queens. But its just not the same, it isnt made with love.
Yesterday at lunch, Mike figured out that if you cleaned your plate you would surely get another serving before you even had the chance to say no. So he just left a little bit of food on his plate and was able to refuse 3rds, even after multiple insistnaces. This is something I wasnt able to figure out in 28 years, and it only took him 24 hours.
It's HOT. 107 degrees, so there are no morning runs. We're all coming back chubby. My excersice for the day was getting a massage.
Today we are heading out to Delhi NEWEST temple. Everyone keeps raving about it so I'm pretty excited to see it. Also, today will be the first day the Mere & Mike venture into the city. There exposure to the country has been gradual. We came in at night, so everything was hard to see. Then next morning we walked over to dadimas house and we saw a cow. That afternoon we went out in the suburbs. We had to dart across traffic on foot while not getting run over, saw about 10 donkeys being herded by a guy with a baseball hat and almost got into several car accidents.
They havent seen nothing yet. :)
