We are traveling in an area where we just may be the only foreigners to pass through and stop in a looong time. We stopped for snacks and water at a roadside stand and chatted with a man who is a shrimp farming technologist whose English is very good. He told us that the coast is a center for shrimp aquaculture. He also recommended a restaurant with AC for lunch that was only 10km further down the road the way we are going, so we decided to stop for a real lunch instead of snacking.
Holy cow.
We were the first foreigners to ever eat at this restaurant, and we were treated so kindly, and like royalty. Another customer ended up sitting with us to eat, and eventually the host sat with us to! Many selfies were taken, and Eric left a great Google review for them. And in the end they wouldn’t even let us pay!! 🥲❤️もっと詳しく
旅行者Again, absolutely loving all of the friendly faces and the delicious looking food. I scrolled all the way back to your first post because the temperatures have been fun to watch as well at the top of your individual posts. You left Seattle in 37°, and then you were into the 80s and 90s a little bit cooler in the mountains and you guys have been going back up again in temp. Do you feel like you've acclimated to the heat at this point? Because I noticed a on a few posts the mention of AC.
旅行者I love that you noticed the temps, our son did too and I think it’s cool that the app records that! It has been incredibly hot (100+ in the hottest part of the day), so getting early starts has been nice. In the heat of the day, the wind from driving keeps us a bit cooler, or maybe drier, because as soon as we stop I am dripping like a faucet. People put us by the AC unit (if there is one) or fans when we eat inside. Our hotel AC has sometimes left a bit to be desired. I’d say we are acclimating a bit. When we get to northern India it will be cooler for sure. I can’t believe how cold it still looks to be at home!!
旅行者Great welcome by the people of India at all places
