Greetings from the Sea Green Hotel on Marine Drive! Cars honking fill the air 24/7. I walked to yoga today but arrived so incredibly sweaty and overheated that I had to wait till we could do yoga. Jehangir assigned Natasha, a great teacher to give me one on one yoga before and during his class. Most practitioners do their own warm ups before his class. I found Natasha excellent. I go every morning for yoga but will take the taxi tomorrow. After class I did go by taxi into town, and drew money, and bought flip flops. Very entertaining walking around. Enjoyed the sugar cane machine, where you get a glass of sugar cane juice. Notice the stack of cane on the roof in the pic. Then I did my cell phone check as I have a new Indian phone number!! I came across the Holy Cow in the pic, donated some rupees for it. The cow lifted it's tail, and splashed a few gallons on the sidewalk. Notice the guy selling jeans that caught the spray of holy water. You would be very luck to buy those jeans. The vendor didn't mind in the least. Folk came up and touched the cow. I ventured up side streets, which were very narrow, and carried mainly pedestrian traffic, but the scooters used it too!! I found it very interesting!Was so overheated again and found a restaurant called Indian Summer. It was all Indian food, and I loved it. I plan to go back there. Way way way nicer than the restaurant food that we get in Edmonton, and way cheaper. Amazing flavours. I can cope with the spicy food...so much variety, and excellently prepared. Wish I had more appetite!! Enjoy the pics Tamarind sauces are great. So tempted to buy some food off the street, but they use their hands, and not a scoop to dole out the treats. More tomorrow.........
