India 2017, Day 8: Delhi, Day 3

South Delhi

Happy Indian Birthday to me!  When I planned my trip, I decided that I was going to spend my birthday in India.  Today was the day!  And a somewhat off-the-beaten-path type of day it was.  Who’s ever heard [Read more…]

India 2017 Food Diary, Day 7

I started off Day 7 by getting to the Taj Mahal at the crack of dawn.  Seeing the Taj Mahal made it a day like no other in my entire life.  After my visit, I had a late breakfast at a cute little place beyond the Taj’s southern gate.  The relaxing atmosphere and delicious food made sure the day kept on being a good one.

India 2017 Food Diary, Day 6

On the morning of Day 6, I had the best train ride ever.  At first I resisted the food offered to me for breakfast by the young Indian couple I met.  Being a picky eater, I was sure it would be something I wouldn’t like.  But it looked pretty good, and they told me that the husband’s mother was the best cook.  I relented, and it turns out that they were right.  Delicious!

I had spiced cold potatoes cubes, paneer (firm cottage cheese) and peas in a sauce, plain bread, and deep-fried bread.  Considering that I never cared for Indian food, I couldn’t believe how much I liked it.  My compliments to the mam!  (I just had to look up Hindi for “mother”.)

India 2017, Day 6: Agra, Day 1

Fatehpur Sikri

Day 6, close to the midpoint of my trip to India, was the most frustrating day of my trip.  I really started to question whether I wanted to continue traveling the way I do.  But before the frustration set in, I had [Read more…]
