Fauna In Green

These people live on the island in the middle of the river.  I assume they are squatters, like most of Angola's poor.  They are self sufficient there, as they fish and hunt.  The other two photos also have animals among the greenery.

Almost A-Mazed

I am now well over halfway done with my tulip maze.

One Corner

I have one corner of the four done.  Getting there.  I'm not stitching nearly as much as I thought I would before I left...

Street Food - Pav Bhaji

I went on a Street Food tour of Mumbai done by Reality Tours and Travel.  We ate a -lot- of food.  One of the first things we tried, at the beach, was pav bhaji.  Pav bhaji was invented in the mid-nineteenth century as an easy and quick lunch for textile mill workers.  It's made of a bunch of stewed vegetables and spices that are the consistency of mush.  You use the bread to pick up the mush and eat it.  It's delicious, but like most Indian food, a bit too spicy for me to eat much of it.  Red onions and lime juice get sprinkled on before eating.  Here's a recipe.

How Many Birds?

One positive thing I can say about this river cruise is Andreas was able to get a LOT of great bird photos.  It was also quite peaceful.

Another Point

I've made the second big point on this.  Lots to fill in and such, but progress!

Boat And Oars

My dragon is looking like a galley with oars in the water proudly pushing forward.
