The first thing I noticed coming out of the airport was the smell of tropical flowers. More than anything (except perhaps the jetlag) it's what tipped me off to the fact that I wasn't in the US anymore. The airport itself is of similar design as others I have been in, and so was the parking lot. When we got out of the airport however and drove the three hours to Mysore, we started to see forrests of concrete apartment buildings, some being torn down, some being built as far as the eye could see. But startlingly enough once in a while we saw huge stone formations rising up out of the city, seemingly untouched by the civilization around it.
Mysore, at least the area we are in seems very residential, with gated houses on small streets. We received a very nice welcome by the house guard and by the other boarders. The apartments above PHRII are very nice, and we haven't seen much of anything else though…having passed out for almost eight hours. That's going to hurt in the morning.
We went out for dinner, at a hotel restaurant and I got thali, which is a mix of delicious southern Indian foods. I didn't do it justice but I am definitely a fan of the food here :-) . I can't wait to try some more tomorrow, and to start seeing the city.

Tada! Home sweet home for the next five weeks :-)
