Dinner With Shailesh & Surla by 26 Mile Motorcycle Ride..ugh....One Way

The language barrier does pose some problems. Lol. For example last night I thought Shailesh and his wife were coming to Gamer's hus (less than a mile from my hotel). Well....I was wrong. Instead Gamer picks me up and we ride 20 some miles on his bike to Shailesh's house. Then even further to the restaurant. OMG! And it started raining on the way and of course neither of us had a helmet... this is India. The thought crossed my mind more than once that I might not live to tell this tale on my blog.

Main Room of Their House (has this one and the kitchen - Gamer told me "Shailesh big house. (Because his house only has one room.))
Once we get to Shailesh's house all of his neighbors had ccome to gather around outside to see the white person - lol. It was really cute. Gamer said "Shailesh very happy!!"
Shailesh's Brother
Shailesh & Surla in their kitchen (2nd room). We had a nice dinner at a Punjabi restaurant and tried our best at conversation.

Shailesh is taking me to the airport tomorrow. He and Gamer have requested 2010, "Sean & Janelle Return to India?" Then Gamer followed his own question up by replying "We will be waiting..." Lol. I soooo am not ready to leave yet. I wish I had planned more days here. But I guess I should get back to work soon to pay for this trip... It's been ever worth it.
Love, Janelle

  1. How wonderful that you had this time to catch up with Gamer and Shailesh and their families! You will always know that you have 2 families in India that love you! That is really cute that they are requesting a return of Sean & Janelle. The motorcycling sounds like fun! Love, Mom
