Oh, what a day! With work pretty much under control, I spent today sightseeing। It was a great day.
But...
I have two bits of advice:
1. Check the time, so as not to go near dark.
2. Check the weather report, and don't go when torrential rain and hail are headed your way!
All that aside, I had a great time seeing lots of things I'd never have encountered from the main road. I also had a good time exploring some of the food of India. I got to drive through acres of sugar cane and rice fields, and I met some of warmest people on the planet. I never had any real worries, because a employee from the company I'm hear to see when along.
Lots more to come later, but here's a quick photo from the day.
P.S. -- When you enter blogs from India, Blogger adds this little button to be able to type in Hindi. इ वोंदर वहत ठाट दोएस? (I wonder what that does?)

But...
- If you want to see the rural side of a country....
- and you convince your driver to take you 40 kilometers off the main road...
- down dusty farm roads with pot holes the size of buses...
- with people, goats, cows, and carts scurrying in front of you...

Jace- glad to hear you are having a "good" time in India....sounds as if you are seeing some interesting things...when do you come home? LOVE, Mom
Yes, I'm having a good time. I really miss the family, though. Fortunately, I'll be returning home on Wednesday -- the same day as Liz.
