A Local Dessert Treat
On the way out of town, we stopped at a sweet shop that makes the candies Agra is famous for. I can't remember the name of these (Honey? Ishita?) but they are gelatinous and chewable and covered in sugar and are some of the sweetest sweets I've ever tasted. They look like they're different flavors, but they're not. Just different colors. Santosh bought several boxes to bring home when we stopped. I was glad that we got to do something that was fun for him, because the air conditioning broke down on the way out in the morning, and the poor guy was in full uniform in that hot car! We left the windows open for the trip, and this caused the unfortunate incident of a box of tissues blowing off the back windshield ledge and covering the car with tissue - thank goodness they only clung to the back of our heads and not the front, or Santosh's vision might have been compromised! Ishita and I were in hysterics, which probably made the trip even more unbearable! Thank goodness for sugar.
