I made a trip into town today. We ate at Pizza Hut in the mall. Pepperoni pizza (pork of course) has never tasted so good! Here are a few photos from the trip.
Indians love their motorcycles (and scooters). It is the most economical way to get around. Most are 125cc engines and the bikes are pretty small (compared to US street bikes) so they can easily maneuver them in the busy streets and so they get good gas mileage.
I love seeing the cattle roaming the streets. It is so cool!
They are setting up lights everyware for Diwali – The Festival of Lights.
Everyone is out and about on a Sunday night. It is exciting for me to be with so many people!
They had a parade that included some type of shrine complete with a guru on a float. First a water truck came by sprinkling water on the road with people sweeping before and after the water to clean the street. Then they sprinkled the road with flower petals and said prayers to get ready for the shrine float. These guys came just before the shrine and are some type of famous warriors from the past.
This is the truck covered with flowers. All are fresh and put on strings.
This is the guru on the float with many loyal followers. There were ladys passing out blessed food. It was like puffed rice with a bit of sugar. Very tasty. It was fun to see the whole production.
