So, I pretty much didn’t know what India even was until this weekend. I got a full view with dinner out on Friday. We ate at a hotel called Oberoi and got to sit out in a courtyard.
Traffic was bad but dinner was fun. This was our first trip that wasn’t at 2am so we got to see all the crazy driving. We also our first go at telling vendors NO.
The whole driver this is a post in itself but I will stick to the weekend. The highlight was a trip Meghan and I took to MySore. It was a three hour trip but worth it. We got picked up early and stopped a few time to find out about Papa, Jack Fruit, and Sugar Cane. I was happy with our driver b/c it went out of his way to show us things.

The key reason to go was to see MySore Palace. I can’t begin to explain how impressive it was.
It's to bad but we couldn't take any pictures inside. I could go on and on about it but I can finish up with I got to sit on an elephant (pics on Facebook)
After the Palace we went up to Chimundi Hill which had a temple on the top, a “daemon” statue, and a big bull. The temple was very interesting but a great view down over the city of Mysore. Oh, and I didn't even talk about the place we ate lunch - guess I have to post more later when I have time.
