India – Summer 2017 | Chris Couture

My first trip to India under the CherryRoad flag was a mix of familiar and new. I enjoyed the trip – as usual!

I figured I’d give the journal a different flavor. I picked a pic from each day that reflects a theme of the adventure. That’s the top set of pics with captions. The rest are traditional, what-you-know as me dumping a bunch o’ pics into the bucket. Mix of familiar and new 🙂

Happy adventure viewing!

International travel has its perks. I crossed a million miles on United this journey, and had a decent flight. Marriott continues to treat me super awesome.

Some foods just hit the spot. Pretzels between flights… YUM!

I regularly saw Bangalore through a new view. Here is where Mohan and I wagered that the circled area is approximately the location of the Ciber office, as seen from the Marriott lounge. I said – nope! (Um, well, I was wrong and lost the bet, another new experience!)

Different view of the Marriott – this one from our new office.

I saw new perspectives on familiar sites. This is in the Marriott passenger pickup/drop off area. In all my previous trips, I never looked up to see this!

Another discovery – peanut butter! I *love* peanut butter for traveling breakfast. No clue that Marriott had peanut butter on hand. I think it’s more an American thing, but…man, what a happy discovery!

Flowers, flowers, everywhere in the Garden City were flowers, flowers!

I have always envisioned a game called “handball” as a team sport, but until this trip I’d not known it actually existed. The rules aren’t exactly right, I mean, mine are slightly better 😉 But, still, what a cool find!
