Three weeks in India -- Day Ten
For those of you keeping score at home, I've reached the halfway point of the trip. In two days my co-workers will be returning to Ireland leaving me to fend for myself. Eh. Truth be told, I'm cared for so well here that little actual fending is involved. The hotel staff is most accommodating, the folks at the office take good care of me, and I'm convinced the hired driver (who'll also be my tour guide come Saturday -- more on that later) is the key principal behind the success of every visit here from the home office.
I mentioned last night that we were going to dinner at Fusion 9, a restaurant up the road. It's a well appointed place, Western in design in many respects but not entirely. The menu featured food from all over -- Asian, Western, etc. -- no Martian food but that will be next. Although I've enjoyed the mostly Indian food I've eaten so far, chili corn polenta went down very well as an appetizer, and the lamb chops were delicious. It was seven at the table, us four out of town visitors plus three from the office here, and the conversation swerved from life in India, Ireland and the US, to the office, the movies, the food -- you know, all the usual stuff. Very enlightening and entertaining.
My cold is mostly a thing of the past so I'm looking for new reasons to complain. I can't use work since the training has been moving along well. Give me a few days.
