Delhi

I'm in Delhi now, the capital of India! Tomorrow I'll finally get to see the infamous Taj Mahal. Although, the bus ride will depart Delhi at 6:30am and arrive back in Delhi at 10:30pm! I hope the ride will be enjoyable....or at least comfortable. It is crazy here! There are so many people here.
This past weekend I stayed in Bangalore and experienced my first banana leaf meal. So I finally caved in and learned to use my fingers and scope up pieces of rice without utensils. First, I had to sit on the floor then wash my banana leaf with some bottled water and then the meal was placed on top of the banana leaf. It's quite a challenge trying to scope up rice and pack it into a ball before bringing the fingers to your mouth! With many eyes on me from the others around me and a pile of rice outside the banana leaf that managed to escape between my fingers....I finished the meal in about 20 minutes! No problems with the GI so far!
