I'm smart!

Monday was another day off for the kite festival, so we went to the UNESCO Heritage Site called Champaner. It's like 45 km away from Baroda. It was a very relaxing day just walking around. There was no pollution and no noise. Just these random, amazing stone mosques standing in the middle of fields of corn.

On the way home, we stopped at the bus station to eat some pav bhaji. It's a gujarati dish where they mash up all these veggies and serve them with oily buns. I love it. While we were waiting for our food I started talking to a family in Hindi! I was actually able to successfully communicate with my Hindi! They said I was smart! Anyways, near the end of our pav bhaji the family was like "Bus! Bus!" and started running. So we had to throw money at the pav bhaji wala and run for the bus. It was very crowded, but we eventually found seats. The family was so cute and kept chatting with me in Hindi. They eventually invited us to their house for dinner. The family was so sweet and when we didn't finish our halwa (another extremely sweet Indian dessert made of carrot) the five year old boy spoon fed us. It really was a lot of halwa and I think I have diabetes now. The family was so nice and invited us to lunch on Sunday. They just randomly met us at a bus stop and then invited us to their house for dinner. They kept saying that they were so happy that we were there. Such kindness.
