The train, the train (travel)

Today, we are leaving Chennai for a city on the other side of India. We will be going to Goa for a little beachy/monsoon action. After Goa, we will head for the hills and see the call center capital of India (Bangalore) and spend some time lounging, as I hear that is what Bangalore is known for.

 

It is so hot that I find myself not wanting to eat. But, when I force a meal on myself, I have loved the chutneys on a big egg pancake for breakfast, the masalas for lunch and the sweets for dessert. My American habits mean that I need to order two milky coffees each time I sit down and still leave feeling under caffenated.

 

Luckily, I don't seem to need caffeine to get me through the day. The cars, buses, auto-rickshaws, motorcycles, and bikes keep me on my toes as I walk through the streets. The sight of temples, fruit pyramids, and sacred cows make me want to learn more. And, the idea that all I've experienced has only been in two days makes me wonder what is to come.
