Another wedding!

We can’t seem to get enough of KY and Naseem. We went out with them again! This time we went to Shrirangapatna to a resort/hotel on a river. The kids enjoyed the freedom from cars and noise. There were a couple of rabbits in a cage and the kids had fun feeding and petting them.

We had some chai and then we took a walk down to the river and enjoyed the shade and the cool breeze from the water.

Then we went off to another wedding! KY’s co-worker was getting married and Indian weddings are so large and it really isn’t the custom to have a personal invitation so we got to tag along. It is actually a bit of a status symbol to have foreigners at your wedding! We didn’t stay so long this time. We did enjoy a nice meal though. Again it was served at long rows of tables and we sat on stools and ate from banana leaves using our hands. We were served by members of the Brahma cast, the highest cast in India. I guess this is a tradition for many Indian weddings.

This evening we had a Baha’i gathering which included dinner. Afterwards we went with some of Baha’i friends to a coffee shop. Nadim had been hankering for some good coffee and he wasn’t disappointed. It was nice to sit and laugh so much with such great company. The area was air conditioned which made it even more comfortable!
