I'm going home!

It's 1:30am here in Delhi. The taxi's here, so I'm shutting down. My plane leaves at 4:45am. I'll arrive in Atlanta after 28 hours of traveling (Delhi, India to Doha, Qatar to JFK, NYC to Atlanta - 22 hours of flight time plus 6 hours of layovers). Whoever said business travel was fun!

Looking forward to seeing my hubby, spending the holidays with family and being back in the US!

More Humayun Tomb

Finally made it to Humayun Tomb

This is like Delhi's Taj Mahal. Very beautiful buildings and gardens. I've been trying to get here for the longest time and finally did it on my way home from work today. It's so amazing to find these things right in the heart of the city. I love history and old buildings. You just can't get this old in California! The details on these buildings are amazing, especially when you consider when they were built, during the Mughal time.

Food Redux Part 3

Well, this story is getting old! I ate some restaurant leftovers on Wed night and everything tasted great. Started to feel "queasy" on my way to lunch, but had a soda with lunch and everything seemed to settle down. Lunch was fabulous, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, once we started walking back to the office I started feeling queasy again. Barely got back to the office when I "lost" everything, so I went home a couple of hours early. I am rethinking my entire food strategy...or lack thereof.

Christmas Program on Sunday

We had a wonderful Christmas program at church this week. It's so nice to know that no matter where I travel around the world I'll be singing the same hymns!

Eco-friendly manpower on with job site

It's the job of one of our team to visit the venues to see how they're progressing. He came across this new "eco-friendly" workforce at one of them:

Our Christmas Party

We had a fabulous Christmas Party with our team last week. We all went to a wonderful restaurant, The Smokehouse Grill. I had beef (a perfectly cooked tenderloin steak) for the first time in over 7 weeks. Not that I eat a lot of beef, but you just don't see that much of it here (cows are considered "holy" animals here). We were all given fun little gifts - most were wind up toys that we proceeded to send all around the table. Another fun item was a rolled up streamer that we used to whack each other with - amazing how these things entertained a group of adults for hours! I was the best shot - of course! We also passed around a glowing ball and a "russian hat." Sadly, I broke the "whoopee cushion."


All our toys - a fly, ladybug, car, girl in bumper car, and crab were the wind-up toys. There was also the "glows when you bounce it" ball, whoopee cushion and "pop-up" doll.

Me in the hat holding the glowing ball!
