We're turning into mangos....

Jessi had never had a real, whole mango before. Mango sorbet, of course, but not the real fruit. Here, we are having mangos for breakfast, and every other possible time of the day. They’re great! Especially since Rachna’s family owns parts of different mango farms. Today, we took a ride out to more rural areas.
First, we picked up Rachna’s aunt and uncle (Mami and Mama in Gujarati language) and then drove out to a beautiful Hindu temple. This was a temple of Shiva, one of the Hindu gods. After the heat of touring and then cooling off with some ice cream, we drove out even more into the “country” to see the mango farm. It was a nice break from the traffic, honking, and dust of the city, but it was still very hot. The farm area was very peaceful, and we got to see some mangos still on the trees! It is nearing the end of mango season, so they are almost all picked.
Later, we stopped at a village where Mami and Mama have a second home. Rachna’s great grandfather and other family members also used to all live in this village. The people were very nice. After that, we drove back to Mami and Mama’s house and had a large lunch. There we saw their cousins and one cousin had a little baby, Adi. After lunch, we returned home.
We have continued to enjoy playing games with the children who live behind the house, Sejal and Mehul. Jessi has been teaching handclap games to Sejal, and Rachna and the kids come up with silly names for us. We went shopping in the late afternoon, and then came home, took the kids to the park and went to the cybercafe. At the park, we had a huge game of leapfrog. We had all these kids lining up and playing, Gujarati, Enlgish, it didn’t matter. We also learned some of their games while taking turns at the cybercafe!
Tonight, we ordered pizza (just like American), tried on our Punjabis (Indian traditional clothing) and watched Hindi TV.
