Updates from two weekends ago…

So it was probably rude to leave town after posting a note that I wasn’t feeling good…sorry Mom! I’m feeling much better now, but also realize also that I skipped two weekends ago, and we had a great weekend. Friday night was a Indian food fest (can’t remember exactly what it was called). But it was good food and a fun family night out – Caden ate mainly dosa, which is a pancake best as I can tell. He wanted syrup and we offered him ice cream, but other than that it was uneventful.

Saturday was another good day of shopping and family time, with a Saturday night “lane party” with all the neighbors – SUPER fun and a great experience/reminder of how neat it is to be here. Our neighbors that hosted the party were German (which Wade of course loves) and the food was thus German too – MUCH closer to home and quite good! Our neighbors are great, and from all over – Germany, India, Korea, US, etc. It was a lot of fun and good to meet some new people/friends. Caden also had a great time with all the kids. It’s neat how welcoming people are here; I guess being largely expats, you learn to make friends quickly.

Sunday was the brunch at the Taj, which was quite good. As our neighbor put it, “a high rent” way to spend a Sunday (even by US $ standards), but we had fun and certainly ate/drank our money’s worth! Sunday night we got invited to a restaurant’s “birthday” party nearby in Whitefield, so after a quick nap, we freshened up, dropped Caden with his babysitter at the neighbors and headed out. The night was a lot of fun with a very international crowd. The food was good, music was fun, and they even had a comedian that was really funny.

I guess this is what they mean by work hard, play hard…
