Let's see India...

OK, enough of this Palm Meadow isolation. Today we hit the streets. The day started slow, with Kumar (the fill in driver) hanging a hammock that Sheela and Challu brought for Lauren. It is common for the driver to take care of these household tasks.
Lauren loves the hammock...
I thought a trip to the Leela Palace for some shopping and lunch would be a good first adventure for my Mom. As we drove past Palm Meadows security at the exit, I was excited to see Mom's reaction to the India street scene...

She was completely unfazed!!! Although she did appreciate the stark contrast as we pulled around to the Leela Palace...


We shopped and ate in luxury... Mom was not quite seeing what is all the fuss about the hardship in Bangalore!!

Tomorrow my neighbor Paddy is taking us to a used book shop in the city. NOT the Leela, I can assure you!!
