Indian Food:
Sweet Shops

To: Family and Friends

Subject: Indian Food: Sweets

I got sick today after my first meal at the new hotel. I got sick the first day at the Taj too. You’d think these fancy 5 star hotels would be more hygienic than that.

Inside an Indian Sweet shop

So this evening the Training manager took me out and we ate at a little sweet shop and then had jelabis from an open air restaurant. I'm sure that will be good for my stomach! ha!

I rode a rickshaw. It was fun. I could not believe how strong that guy was. Wonder what would happen if you took a rickshaw driver and put him in the Tour de France? Well, spent a long time eating jelabis and other sweets. (Indian sweets are not too good. Blech. Some of them have gold tinfoil-like stuff on them that you are supposed to eat! They say it is real gold, but eating gold can’t be very good for you.)
