A ride through Bangalore
This morning I took my first ride through Bangalore. Whoa. Totally incredible place. Wall to wall people, cars, bikes, dogs, kids, people, auto-rickshaws, trucks, carts, people, people, people!I really just went from the hotel to an office and back, but the driver was kind enough to bring me past the parliament building. So here's a photo.
I think I could fall in love with this country just based on that one hour car ride. I found everything absolutely fascinating. I passed a wall decorated with tiles depicting the Indian Gods....and mixed in with them was a single tile portraying the crucifixtion.

I am completely jealous that I am not there right now. Never been, but totally on my to do list. I surfed over here from the site of His Royal Curmudgeonliness.
Cool. I get to be royal.
More importantly, though, you are carrying the blogging flag honorably for us all from Bangalore. Hate to ask the stereotypical question, but how's your stomach/digestive system holding up?
Jill, thanks so much for the note. Maybe I'll snap a few photos fo the palace here and p'shop the Mudge's photo in there so he can feel more princely.
'Mudge, Glad to say that my stomach is A-OK thus far, though I haven't eaten outside of the hotel yet. That said, the food at the hotel is awesome. A mix of Indian, Lebanese and other world cuisines all served in amazing splendor. I'll have to snap some shots of that too, tho food photos always weird me out a little bit. Whenever I see pics of food I inevitabley have the adolescent thought pass thru my mind: that food is now poopy.
Will you learn to play the sitar while you are there?
