life in bangalore

Well, we are finally feeling settled and adjusting to life in Bangalore.  Things have been going well the past few days and I think Aaron is beginning to see why I love India so much.  In a nut shell, here's what we've been up to lately:


Saturday:


~There was a WCOI board meeting so Aaron had his first encounter with the traditional Indian dish of biryani, which is often eaten during celebrations/important events
~We went to the near by shopping area, Commercial Street, but it was even more congested than usual, as it was a Saturday afternoon
~I caught up with one of my friends from my last trip, Raja, who came over for the afternoon with his wife


Sunday:


~We went to church at Bethel Baptist - also the same church I attended during my last trip
~We fully engaged in "the day of rest" and took a two and a half hour nap


Monday:

~We started working for WCOI by cleaning out the library, which I don't think has been touched in the last 25 years.  Lots of dust and bugs and I don't think we'll finish anytime soon!

~We took an afternoon break and walked over to Cafe Coffee Day.  Here's the view of Ulsoor Lake from the coffee shop:

~We got caught in the pouring rain on the way home from the coffee shop, but luckily it's only a short walk

~We headed over to James and Anita's house after work to spend some time with them.  We went for a walk and their daughter, Judith, ended up getting her ears pierced.  Anita made a delicious dinner and we ended up spending the night at their home

All in all we've been keeping busy and having a great time!
