Three weeks in India -- Day Two
Megan McArdle, a much more experienced international traveller than I, is suffering jet lag too. It's 4:41 AM here in Hyderabad and I've been up for almost an hour. At this point maybe I'll just forget trying to sleep and hope they show Tuesday Morning Monday Night Football on ESPN, which has a 6:00 AM start here.
Anyway, I'm travelling with three companions from our Ireland office and we all had dinner tonight in the hotel. If lunch and dinner yesterday count for anything and I think they do, I'm going to enjoy eating here. It's not too difficult to avoid the spicey stuff if that's not to your taste (I don't mind spicey myself). Last night I had lamb and it was very nicely done. I had a very nice soup too, although I have no idea what it was. We had pleasant conversation to the point that I forgot I had my soup sitting at my side. I imagine I'll run into something that tastes awful at some point but so far, so good.
I've a view to the west from my window and saw a very nice sunset tonight. The pic below doesn't do it much justice I'm afraid. It's been a while since I put a pic in a post so I'm not sure how this will work.
UPDATE: Here's the sunrise this morning at 7:00 AM. There's no actual sun in the picture. Rather, it's the same view as I the photo above.
