A Taste of India - 08-18-13

The highest, the greatest, the best. That's the US.

To be honest I didn't expect one of the greatest Hindu Temples just at Lemont's village boundary. I just passed with my bike and realized a sign saying "The Taste of India, 08-18-13", just tomorrow - lucky me! Eeerr, including many other people of course: When I arrived on Sunday a car line already welcomed me. Probably my bike had found the easiest parking space :-)

The event itself was brilliant! Mainly there was a lot of food and many clothes to buy, everything accompanied by Indian music. I just had to try one of the offered culinary delights - but I could not match the names with the dish so I just guessed and got kulfi faluda, which consists of ice cream and noodles. That was really cool :-)

Afterwards I finally started my exploration of the Glen Forest Park Preserve which is next to the Argonne National Laboratory. And I met a nice company:

We glanced at each other for a long time (mh, maybe in reality just 20 seconds) until a car came which destroyed my mental countryside idyll. Nevertheless, new friends  :-)
