Just said goodbye to my new friends Brierly and Debra who are headed home to Houston. We had an amazing dinner last night at one of those little out of the way, hole in the wall, places that you won't forget. The 2 waiters-owners sang along with the blazing music in Italian, the menu was handwritten and created daily - only traditional dishes. We knew the food would be good as there were two properly dressed white-haired women enjoying themselves and oblivious to the loud music. You'll have to wait for the pictures!
Today I took it easy to rest up for a big day of travel tomorrow. I fly to Istanbul at noon and then on to Delhi where I arrive at 4 am local time. Don't ask how long the flight is - I haven't figured it out. Have my book of vocabularly to study on the plane. I was lucky here to find people who spoke English or understood my spanish! Got my hair cut shorter again. Went to the same woman who did it the day I arrived. Great style, but still too much hair for the heat of India!

ReplyDeleteRats, I hit forward too fast and it ate my comment. Sigh. :)
ReplyDeleteBut traveling to Istanbul! How glamorous! Very Poirot. I imagine you in flowing skirts and expensive sandals, large sunglasses in your teeth as you hail a camel-cab. :)
