Laura at the Gateway of India
Numerous locals wanted to take pictures with Laura or me. It was very flattering (and not a scam, as Frank thought). Oct. 7, 2:40 a.m.
We depart for Nagpur this morning. Our flight is at 7:05, but we leave the hotel at 4:30 because of traffic. Yesterday, we toured. The photos capture the experience better than I can, with the exception of dinner (because I didn't photograph it)-- we ate in the hotel's Chinese restaurant. I ordered the capsicum because Í had never tried it, and none of us knew what it was. We all liked it. Turns out, it's bell pepper. We also had avocado cheese cake for dessert. Frank and I liked it; Laura thought it had an aftertaste, Susan thought it was not enough like the cheesecake we're used to.
We have noticed that the men in India are very handsome. Besides the obvious coloring differences, they're smaller and less macho than many Western men. Susan noticed this too. At dinner, Susan pointed out the particularly attractive waiter, "I know many of the other men are good looking, but this guy, he's like an Adonis. He's just gorgeous." Laura: "Mom, he's right behind you."
