Amazing spicy, sweet, savory snacks and one of my favorite things here…..the first one is papri chaat and while I have no idea what the second one is, it was certainly tasty!! Snack Time! Potato and Pea Goodness

I thought he was just sitting on the edge (about 15 stories up) of a building that was being demolished taking a break….but no…. Destruction Worker Silly Girl!!  He was using a sledge hammer to break off bits of the building while sitting 15 stories up with no hardhat and flip flops but he did…

Granny bashers (a horrible irish name for this style of bike – and makes one wonder if granny had a few too many pints before getting on her bike to head back home) are all the rage here and are, I must admit, a very cool form of transport and FAR less scarier than any…
