Arrived India!

All good so far here in India. Flight was long and boring with a decent meal (but crappy snacks 😂) and we were greeted promptly by our Asian Adventures representative and are nicely ensconced at the Taj Palace for four nights.

Before we forget - have to post about a fun meal we had when we went to see the snow monkeys. Never ones to just go with the usual crowds, we did some research about what to eat while in Nagano and it became an obsession and a must try. Our driver was actually very helpful and found the place we had researched. We got there after they were making them fresh but fortunately before they were all sold out. 

Language barrier was hysterical. We were paying for them and the clerk kept repeating something over and over. We were clueless. Eventually she pulls out a little notebook and finds a page with the words “very hot.” This is after we made our selection and had paid so then Chris was worried they were going to be too spicy. Sticking out her tongue and pointing didn’t do anything to help the communication along 😂. So Mike had to taste first to see. We got three different fillings, beans, green vegetables and something else that tasted like potato salad. None were the least bit spicy nor were they hot in temperature- so we are still laughing about that little encounter. They were good overall but would have been better a little fresher.
