Thursday marked my return to Delhi from my trip to Vizag......and Jeff returned on Friday night from his own India Adventure, with our mutual friend, P.V. Patel. He and I had been trading "text messages" all week while he was between Jodphur and Jaislmer.....and then to Agra to see the Taj Mahal. During one of our conversations, Linda and I were invited to meet he and P.V at BUKHARA.....the very famous restaurant at the ITC Maurya Hotel....which is the first hotel I stayed at when I visited India in August. It was going to be a real treat.....and it was....great food and I definitely went NON-VEG on that night!
Jeff was a trooper.....after an exhausting week of traveling the India countryside......by car most of the time.....he told Preston that he would like to be part of the family and watch his soccer game......
The AES Falcons....played the Bai Bharti School.....and won the game...final score 2-1......and Preston played an awesome game in goal.
Here are a few pictures from the game....some action shots of Preston....The last picture is becoming a "post game" ritual of sorts......lunch at the "Sikkim House". Sikkim House is located about a block or so from the school and they have a unique way pf promoting their area as a tourist destination in India......they have a great restaurant.....and as usual, the prices are great. Linda, Jeff and I had lunch while Preston dined with the team.
SATURDAY....SOCCER....SHEEHAN.....and SIKKIM....
Here are some fun facts about Sikkim.......it is nestled in the Himalaya's.....it hosts the highest peak in India, and the third highest in the world.....and it is the least populated state in India, with just over 500,000 inhabitants....Nepal is on their west border, China to the north and Bhutan on their east and West Bengal on their south.....
