With Jaya

 Aruna and Sharat drove us to Jayas place in Milwaukee.

I have not seen Jaya or Gautham. Lovely surprise. Both of them very nice people.

Talked so much about thittazhathu people with Jaya and felt whatever I heard from Jaya in 2 days was much more than what I knew in last 30 years.

She had made so much for lunch, paneer, chicken, dhal etc etc.

Went for a drive, saw lake michigan.

Houses in US have such big bed rooms and attached toilets closet, unlike in Australia. Dinner was outside in a fast food place.

Next day morning she made idli, sambar, chutney. Very nice. Then we went on a drive to see  Madison university campus where Ansh studies.

Beautiful campus. It was thanksgiving holiday, so not many people at all. We alao saw Parliment house of Wisconsin.

It seems all parliment houses are replica of Washington Parliment house, capitol hill.

It was nice. Homeless people sitting inside. Looks like homelessness is a big problem in USA.

We had indian pav bhaji and misal pav?? from a cart. Was very nice.

Back in Jayas house, talking about old times of theirs. Jaya and Gautam have hosted so many people in their house. Very generous people. She even arranged a wedding of Gautam's cousin's son at their home. Very talented girl.

Dinner was marathi filled baingan, was very nice. She gave me the masala too.

Next morning she made poha.

Then we went on Amtrax train to chicago. Jaya even gave me a gift of swaroski ear piece. So nice of her. ❤

Nov 20, Melb to LA

Image
 Nov 20th, Sunday morning to Melb airport, stayed in Marhaba lounge then business class philippine airlines. That was good, nice cubicles, flat bed, cocktail,  screwdriver. Transit in Manila, the lounge was very busy, crowded airport, but good food. Tasted pandan pudding, fruits and tea. Already too full from airport food. Last minute thwy asked us to go identify our baggage, open it then obly sent it. Flight was not as good as the other one, more open, not contained cuvicles, still ok. Nice crew. Slept almost three quarter of 13 hr journey. LA airport immigration not as croweded as I thought wpuld be. Then walkwd to terminal 1. No coffee shops, no eateries open. Checked into MSP milwaukee, st paul flight, tgen in that terminal before getting onto sunrise flight, got coke and croissant from a nice lady who was already closing shop. Not very clean, no open shops, disappounting LA airport.

In chicago

Image
 We stayed in Hilton garden inn. Nice place. In middle of downtown Chicago. In afternoon we went on river cruise tour, seeing all the high rise buildings, H/o their architecture. It was nice, but cold and windy. Seems Chicago is one of the windiest cities in world. Night we walked and had dinner at Aba mediterranean restaurant, as we could not get reservation in any place that we wanted. Food there was actually quite good. Walked back to hotel. Next day we went on a walking tour of buildings and food, 5 hr walking tour of Chicago. Tour was nice, but guide not good. Doesnt know much about any questions that we asked. Like the different architectural history. Food was ok, popcorn, sausage, beef finally (in) famous deep pan pizza. Was ok, not too bad.There was a girl from India, Ruchi who came for MRI machine adv for a conf., a mexican origin nurse who showed us all his before and after photos after gastric sleeve surgery. Then we went to London house, roof top, very nice night view, ...
