I had an adventure getting to work today. First last night a coworker said she scheduled a cab to pick me up at 9 am. I went to the lobby around 8:45 since he has always been early in the past. Come around 9:20 I make a phone call wondering where my ride is. The coworker forgot to make the call last night. She then called the taxi and he finally got there around 10:45. I was in the lobby waiting for 2 hours. I would have been better walking or at least less frustrated.

On the taxi drive at the one lane underpass a herd of about 10 water buffalo come walking by and under the bridge. One of them looked right at me and licked the back seat passenger side window I was sitting next too. These animals are big and black and they have a big black tongue. There horns looks like an Alfalfa hair cut with small ends that curl up. I was too slow on the camera to get a shot of the lick. I tried to take a couple pics, but the car was moving too fast to get off anything decent.

For lunch I had something different called a dosa, a southern Indian favorite. It was a rice battered pancake filled with a spiced potato filling. The pancake was longer than the cafeteria tray and was very light. A coconut sauce and lentil sauce was given to dip it into. The lentil was a spicy vegetable soup and I could not tell there was any flavor to the coconut. It was a change of pace to rice and curry. Plus it was only 30 rupees or 60 cents. However, I would have been happier with a plain pancake and some syrup.
