We didn't do a whole lot of walking today. I was working on a vegetarian chili recipe. Lots of beans and tomatoes. I do miss the meat, but it tastes good and definitely tastes like chili. Garlic, cumin, and chilies are standard Indian flavors, so it's not too hard to do. I added fresh curry leaves from our curry bush to add a bit of herbal flavor. It's definitely a "scratch" recipe -- there are no canned goods in India, so I had to start with dried beans and make tomato puree.

| We had to make our way through this small herd of very muddy buffalo. On our way back, they had only made it about 200 m further down the road -- and tied up traffic pretty thoroughly. The road is NH 8 -- the busiest highway in India -- that connects Mumbai and New Delhi through the major industrial areas of Gujarat. |

| If you've Skyped or FaceTimed with us, you know the trains are nearby and loud. This is taken near the entrance to our "society" (subdivision in 'burb-speak). Typical Indian road traffic: train, cows, and tuk-tuks, also two-wheelers, truck, and pedestrians. |
