Food...Awesome for the Mouth, Bad for the Stomach

   Eating in India is AMAZING.  Starting with our very first breakfast that was complete with a spicy Indian potato dish, some deep-fried bread, and eggs marsala, I was in food heaven.  Everything is marked with a vegetarian sticker so that Michelle and I know what we can eat and the creamy, oily, spicy sauces are delicious.  Yes, American Indian cuisine does come pretty close, but we are going to some of the finest restaurants in India, and nothing compares to them.

  Unfortunately, eating here has its dark side...the inexorable toilet stop after eating.  Since day 2 of our tour here, our stomachs have been in tangles.  No amount of Pepto-Bismol seems to assuage our stomachs' wrath.  It actually hasn't been that bad, but we are really ready to feel healthy again.  The stench of sewage in the streets and the 90 degree, 90% humidity doesn't help.  But, I am glad that at least our pain was rewarded with some darn good food!
