Waterloo Station
Ladies it is just like a scene out of a movie!

Lovely Female goes to train station to meet up with someone from a charity that she works with to exchange goods. Stranger Male is at train station waiting for someone too.

Lovely Female does not know what charity person looks like so asks people she may think is the person, 'are you Charity Man?' and after a few embarrassing asks she receives a reply from Stranger Male, 'No, I am not a charity man, but I am Mr. M, and would you like to have a coffee?' Well that happened after a bit of banter.
Lovely female is hesitant as she still has to meet Charity Man, she then receives phone call from Mr. Charity saying he can't make it and apologies for keeping her waiting at the station.

So off Stranger Male & Lovely Female go for a coffee and the rest, as they say, is history! After a few months they are living along the river with this spectacular view and he is a great cook! He made us a great Indian meal, of daal and a potato and spinach dish which wasn't deathly spicy like our Indian Chinese food experience and he is a superb host. She erm...'made' the chapati.

So girls get out to Waterloo Station and pretend that you are waiting for Mr.Charity.

Thx for dinner D & M.

Our hosts in Delhi...a pic of them smiling sweetly after the spiciest Chinese dinner ever.

Spicy in India

We didn't get to Kasa Gelato today in the market to scope out the ice cream but am sure it was spicy! Actually everything here is spicy, even our Chinese food dinner tonight was mouth burning, nostril cleansing hot! (except for the locals Mr & Mrs. Gill who ate it all without flinching)

Have seen some great sights like the Taj Mahal and the colorful city of Jaipur in Rajastan along with several others. All were stunning and filled with fascinating histories. India has such a wide variety of sights, smells and tastes -it can be overwhelming at times but it needs to be taken in quite quickly as there is so much happening all at once. The country is filled with many religions, the roads filled with many travelers (horses, donkeys, camels, cars, trucks, bikes, rickshaws, mopeds, scooters, old men walking across motorways at a slow pace, elephants, people, monkeys, dogs and more!) and the restaurants are filled with several types of food -Indian food from all areas; north, south and more and other foods that all seem to have an Indian twist.

I have tasted some great and v.interesting food but all very spicy enough to make a man's moustache curl!
Namaste...and Happy Divali for tomorrow.
