First Day

So, we made it! The flights were great. Mike and I met G in Paris, in the tiny international terminal, after a series of silly bus rides around the perimeter of Charles de Gaulle. We arrived in Delhi around 10:30 PM Monday night, Indian Standard Time. G's cousins Praerna and Adit picked us up. It was a nice 105 degrees when we went outside to get the car :) We put the 5 of us and the driver inside the van, and our luggage was put up top on a roof rack, two of our bags tied onto the van with a single piece of blue rope. After a short drive we arrived at Ranju Bua's house and were treated to a delicious meal (Roti, rice, meat, vegetables, yogurt with chilies). Went to bed and woke up this morning SO happy to be here! Breakfast for me (the last to get up) was toast with mint chutney and orange juice. We walked to Dadima (G's grandmother's) house and had a delicious lunch there this afternoon. Dosa, crepes filled with potatoes and vegetables that you dip into somber (?) gravy with spices and coriander chutney. Yum! Dadima is so tiny, when we walked in she was sitting and her feet didn't touch the ground from her chair. Mike compared her to Yoda. We just came back here for a short bit, just to rest (ha, rest after all that eating and sleeping!) before we go to the mall shopping for the afternoon. Delhi belly has not hit me yet, knock on wood! Keep sending your positive digestive thoughts. Love to all!
