Foiled Again...

By now I am sure you are all expecting an exciting blog about my tour of Bangalore on Sunday? Well... it didn't really happen that way. First off I slept in until mid afternoon on Saturday (after getting off at 7am Saturday morning). I got up, got dressed, called a cab... waited for the cab... got in the cab... the cab driver got lost. Then he did something totally unexpected... He got out of the cab and asked for directions. A man asking for directions... can you imagine? Only in India!!

Anyway, I finally got to the Hard rock and got a table. Now I have been warned that there is no good Mexican food anywhere in India. You know how if someone says "Don't scratch your head... your head immediately itches?" Since I was told there is not Mexican food to be had I have been craving it. I ordered the Chicken Fajitas. I probably should have ordered something else. Strange how a country that has several tortilla like food products of it's own doesn't know what to do with a Tortilla. Mine was both cold and hard... not warm and soft. The chicken tasted mostly of lemon but no spices (which is strange because Indians KNOW spices). So I can say you can't get good Mexican food in India. You can get a great Pina Colada... or two... or...

Their merchandising section was a bit of a let down as there were only a few different pins. Once again I came up against the Indian sizing chart. Which has me right on the very edge of the chart about to fall off. Finally, when I was ready to leave I had them call me a cab... and about 40 minutes later it arrived. I think i ust should have hailed a Auto Rickshaw but live and learn.

I overslept on Sunday and by the time I got up, got dressed and called a cab... waited for the cab... thought the cab had arrived and gone downstairs... realized it hadn't and gone upstairs just as they were calling me for directions and just missed the drivers call... well after all that it was too late to make the tour bus. Dang it.

I almost feel the sightseeing gods are against me. First I got sick, then I overslept. Well I will try again this weekend. I will SEE THIS CITY!!! Of course, we are supposed to have Thunderstorms on Sunday. I don't care. I will see it in the rain!

Now I am 1/2 way thru my trip and I can start to say there are things I am missing from home. My cell phone. I never thought I would say I would miss my cell phone but when you have to take a cab everywhere, order your food either take out or delivery... a cell phone would be nice.
My car. I miss doing a yahoo map and getting in my car to drive somewhere without having to wait for someone to pick me up.
My Dog and Cats. I miss cuddling my critters.
Mexican Food. I really am missing mexican food, especially after the Hard Rock debacle. Could someone PLEASE Fedex me a Chipotle Burrito? With Guacamole and sour cream? Thanks.
