It's now Sunday late morning, we have finished practice, and have had breakfast. The trip down here us very long, but gratefully, uneventful. The picture I have posted today is of the 747-400 that brought me here to Bangalore, India. This picture was taken right before they announce boarding. When we touched town in London I said to my self with a slight laugh - "Hey this looks like Seattle!" I realized that the last 5 meals that I had eaten, before arriving here in India were all at about 40,000 feet and at about 700 miles per hour! Talk about fast food! (Okay, I know, bad joke.)
After getting to the hotel and getting a little settled we went for a walk along the beach front with all the shops and restaurants. In some ways its completely what I expected, and in others not even close. The landscape is very tropical with coconut trees almost being a weed here. Its warm and very humid, but not as bad as I thought it would be. We had a small dinner at a German cafe (they treat food closer to us westerners) and it was only soup. Toured a little more, when to a temple, and then headed back to the hotel. Went to bed about 9 and I slept through the whole night....very good.
I will have more pictures coming soon, but just wanted to get settled before I lug the camera around, but wanted to let you guys know what I think of the place! So far, incredible.
The internet is very slow here and sometimes I have problems getting the pics to upload, so they will show up, but not always when the post goes on line.
