Whoaa

Indian Saris are very challenging (for me) to put on, it is a really long piece of cloth folded around the front, tucked in, pinned and wrapped around with another pin. I never feel entirely "secure", however, I do enjoy wearing it because it is very very beautiful!

Getting ready for Thierry's party

Here's Mrinalini helping me get dressed in my fancy safi. Thierry Martin hosted one of the most amazing parties at Palm Meadows called "Winter Wonderland". Everyone had to wear white and silver. Mrinalini and I had a great time shopping at Commercial street and we each bought several saris. I now have 7 saris, just need more Indian parties to go to!!

Biking at the Infosys campus

The staff got us four bikes right after breakfast and we went up and down the hill around the entire campus. I also got a tour in a golf cart!

Infosys campus

At the impressive Infosys campus where we spent the night. We were guests of the chairman and were treated very well here. This is the world's largest corporate development center. With capacity to house 15000 people for training at any given day, this is an incredible campus. We biked around the entire campus and used many of the facilities.

Where three rivers converge

Taken from the raft - this is where three rivers converge and the locals bathe here! We saw too much flesh!

Rafting Indian style

We went on a circular raft on our way to see the Mysore Palace. We found out this river was full of crocodiles only after the trip!
