Monsoon

Well like alot of Delhi-ites our family escaped the heat for a few weeks to enjoy cooler climates. But we are back home in hot, humid Delhi. This monsoon business is full on, I can almost see the moisture in the air, it's like living in a sauna.

So, given this weather I have been doing very little other than staying indoors and trying to keep cool. However we did venture out for lunch on the weekend to the Italian Cultural Centre (ICC) for pizza. We ordered two pizzas and a caprese salad. Given the weather and recent rains our poor waiter slipped with the pizzas so they ended up on the floor but the second time they did hit the table and they were great. Thin crust, light on ingredients (which I like) and the caprese salad was really lovely...... although most of the yummy bocconcini ended up my daughters mouth. We ate outside which was oppressively hot and humid. S was dripping sweat by the end of our meal, needless to say we didn't hang around. It's a nice garden setting at the ICC though and when the weather is nice it is the perfect spot to enjoy some nice Italian food.

So other than a bit of eating out and alot of monsoon drinking while we catch up with friends, there isn't much to report from here. I do however highly recommend a trip to Provence, France - what an amazing place!!!!

More from here soon ......
