pondicherry

I LOVE PONDICHERRY!!!!
i am out of my sketch hotel and am now in a verrrrry nice one. it has a view of teh ocean, two balconies and 6 beds. this is luxery. we paid 1400 rbs for 2 nights... which is amazing. 40 rbs=1 dollar. today we took a nice walk around pondicherry and saw some of the histrorical sights. gondi statue, and went to the ashram(a place of meditation) i tried ot meditate in this upstairs place and this man told me it was a big no no! shooooot. hahaa. oh well, i am white. they know i am stupid. we have seen some of the most beautiful furniture and architecture. i love pondicherry! it is soooo much better than chennai. the streets are clean, the people are friendly. i just love it!yesterday evening we went out for a nice dinner. i ordered this eggplant thing and waited forevvvver for it. the waiter brought out some naan which was amazing and this "bacon butter" jokingly i said, if this is my meal i am eating some of yours. low and behold this meal was my meal and it was the weirdest thing ever. i just took it and spread it over my naan and made a little burrito. hahah. it was an adventure for sure. after we went to go find coffee since we are in a french based town. it didnt work. our hotel curfew was 10 30, so we tucked in somewhat early. oh and, I am traveling with a french girl named julie-cutest thing ever, and this mornign we found a french cafe. we sat there and we all fully enjoyed our coffee and croissants! Later today we are going for a bike ride around pondicherry...that is our plan so far! OH and i bought the SWEETEST ring today. i l-o-v-e it!
xo to all!
