Just out for a Sunday ride...

I inadvertently took some video with our camera last week when we were on Commercial Street having a suit made for Pat (separate blog to come on that!)and I realized that sometimes video says so much more than a still shot. Today I took this video from the window of the truck on our way into the city. Bear with it, we slow way down about 10 seconds into the video and you can get a feel for the street life here.

We headed to the Forum Mall. The last time Pat had the kids at Forum, it was after he took them to see the India/Australia Test Cricket Match and Taylor promptly tossed her cookies all over the McDonald's dining room! Into our 5th month here, and we finally made a street vendor food purchase! This guy was selling some yummy snack for 10 rupees, about 20 cents USD, (ok, I admit it, I did not actually try it, but Pat and the kids say it was yummy)...

We did go to McDonald's, and thankfully, nobody threw up.

Have you seen those huge lollipops in the windows of candy stores? Who actually buys those?? I mean, what kind of parent cares so little about the oral hygiene of their precious children??

The kind of parent that needs to keep 3 kids occupied for half an hour while her husband is shopping in the Apple store!! Just for the record, the kids only got through about 10 percent of these before they willingly tossed them in the trash!
