Today we visited family friends (or at least their house\/compound) in the country.  We went inland a bit and took a national highway north (I think).  This road is very new and quite modern, two lanes each way with a bit of a median and even road signs, which elicited quite the excited commentary from Sridevi!  This is a big deal as she remembers when this was a single track dirt road as a kid.  At any rate it was a treat to leave the city behind.  The custom here is that as you approach a vehicle you honk the horn before passing, even on the highway.<\/p>\n

\nThe highway is shared by bicycles, cows, pedestrians, trucks, mopeds, auto-rickshaws and cars alike, and with a speed limit of about 80 kilometers an hour, it is a good thing these cows are well behaved!<\/p>\n

Soon we were driving through huge rice paddy’s, basically extending for miles in each direction, the lush green was amazing.  It wasn’t long before we turned left through a village and followed a track about 4 kilometers into a luxury vacation complex.<\/p>\n

The house was quite surprising with items, large and small from his travels abroad.  He even had a miniature golf course set up, right next to a giant outdoor chess table, inset into the ground.<\/p>\n

One of the high points was meeting and playing with their two 6 month old labs, making us miss Budha even more…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
