Indian dinner

A professor invited us over to his and his wife's 200 year old house overlooking the Loire to enjoy an Indian dinner, made by his friend from Sri Lanka. The food was A-mazing. And I never thought before I liked Indian food. It was so great to have spicy food for once in France! The chicken had bones in it still, because it gives the chicken more flavor apparently. I trust him too, after that delicious meal.

My walk to the bus stop

Walking along stunning old houses on one side and a vineyard on the other side to find the professor's house

 

 

Among other highlights from the night, I include this one... We were trying to figure out what the capital of South Sudan was, when the host stood up, and went to get the encyclopedia. When was the last time you saw someone do that? And Dan helped out, getting a better glimpse of the map in the light...

I went over to take a look and said I think it must be Juba, to which they agreed, and at that point of course someone consulted a cellphone to verify. I'd like to thank The Economist for my slightly lucky slightly educated guess. ;)
