Tour of Bangalore

Today we went on a tour of Bangalore.  Here are some of the main spots that we visited. 

St. Mary's Basilica





 Russell Market Square is the perfect place to go if you are looking to buy fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh meats and fish, flowers, and pets.





















Sri Guru Singh Sabha



Ulsoor Lake



 ISKCON Temple complex.  Although we were not allowed to take photographs of this holy place, it was by far the most remarkable and enlightening experience yet.  


On the bus with Daniel, Ana, and Zack.

Living Life

This morning I had to meet one of the directors of the program on campus in order to go to the police station and get my residency permit.  I knew the day was going to be long, so I began it with a hearty breakfast from a stand on campus.  And if you were wondering... Yes, I did take an auto-rickshaw to campus :)

Fruit bowl with a stuffed roll.


 
A bit spicy.  One thing I learned is that if you ask for not-spicy, you get somewhat spicy.  I am working my way towards "medium spicy".  


 YUM!


 Breakfast buddies!


 After about 2 hours at the police station, we took a lunch break.  Monique and me at the restaurant.


 Some of the rest of the USAC crew.


 LUNCH!  Cheese masala dosa. 


 Every Wednesday is Lady's Night in Bangalore!


 Fun on the dance floor.
