Rush Hour
Back into the busy throng of Pondicherry! I laugh at how I thought when first coming here that this would be a quaint little beach town. Beach, yes. Little, no! Pondicherry has something like 500,000 people, I think, and it felt like a good chunk of them were hanging out on this street as Piya and I drove through on Saturday. The morning was hot and overwhelming, but from our bicycle rickshaw on the way to the International Coffee House, we caught a brief break. Unlike the biker who had to haul our sorry selves around! He was strangely cheerful though, so we gave him a good tip, despite having so carefully negotiated our fare!
