Maiden adventure in ATV!!! After all the rain and slippery slopes, these vehicles grew a mind of their own 🙂 Half the time we drove them, the other half of the time , they drove by themselves 🙂

Early morning coffee time with the Roys. Endless number of coffee cups are being downed…. together with a long “adda” session. Just like those Sunday mornings in our apartments…. or our Coppell houses…

These bamboo like trees are unique. The shoot starts from the ground green in color. At some point of time – and this differs from shoot to shoot – it decides “naaah, I am going to be red”!!

With two families from Dallas – dinner and drinks to celebrate Sharmila’s birthday…

In the hot springs…

Almost two hours of stalking those dratted fast moving humming birds….

I guess vacation brings the best out of everyone! Not sure what got into 15 year old Natasha. The rest of the gang took the bus back to the hotel. She offered to hang back if I wanted to. So, here I am – at the bar by the river chatting with the same teenager who usually barely acknowledges my presence…. Next bus is in 30 mins. We might miss that too 🙂

You know why he was trying to not let me take a picture? Because I caught him having his oatmeal with a fork!!!
