After our successful trip to Sapodilla Bay, we had become very hungry. Found that the only one Indian restaurant in Provo was literally a kilometer away from us while we were driving. It is called SJ Curry Club. Not sure why, some of the best Indian restaurants I have found are in the Caribbean! Remember Indian Summer in Nevis?

The food was incredibly good. It is difficult to differentiate yourself on yellow dal but SJ absolutely nailed it. Sharmila thinks it was the lemon zest that gave it the uniqueness.

Got to know the owner and his wife. But the highlight was getting to know their two daughters. When we entered, the two kids – Neha and Sudha – were sitting in a corner table playing games. After I tried some of my long lost Tamil on them, they were at our table.

Specially, the younger one – Sudha. The entire time I had my lunch, she kept me entertained with one story after the other.

They invariably started with “Can I tell you something? It is a secret!”

Again, as I have always maintained, the best part of vacations for me are the natural sights and the local people. Never been into long dead people… the living ones energize me so much!

The deal I have with Geo is that when he starts his water scooter business, he will let me serve at his beach bar. Or when he goes to visit his family in Bahama. For the longest time, I have thought that it would be a dream job for me to do for a couple of years.

I passed his test when he showed me a bottle and asked if I knew what it was. (It was Mamajuana)

Almost three out of four American tourists we met are from New York!! I now have a friend whose mom lives in Haiti. Need to plan a trip there now that I know a local person!

Feast of blue colors

The sands were as fine and white as talcum powder!

PLS was very smooth for immigration and customs. Out in 5 minutes.

153 is an Armstrong number, by the way. The cubes of the digits add up to the number!

Steering wheel on the right side and driving on the left side. If only I can stop myself from starting the wipers every time I want take a turn, I should be in a good shape.
