Pondicherry (Tamil Nadu) - Jan. 28th, 2007

This was a long trip today to make it to Pondicherry, 4 buses because there was no direct connection this morning.
This city was a French colony and still retains some gallic air mixed with typical Indian culture. The local police wears read kepis (caps) and belts.
Many restaurants offer French cousine, but this city is still India.
I checked with Sri Aurobindo Ashram to stay there since their facilities and guesthouses are nice and cheap.
Many people stay in this place to study yoga and meditation. The International Guesthouse is not a boad deal tonight.
I called my mother tonight to wish her Happy Birthday!!
