Thanksgiving in Disneyland

Anu, her parents, her brother's family and I went to Disneyland for Thanksgiving. Surabhi loves Disneyland! She could not get enough of the princesses and the rides well, the not too scary ones! This time again, we saw Frozen in Disneyland's California Adventure. But this time, we got nice orchestra seats in the fourth row thanks to Anu. The show was so much better when you saw it from up close. You could feel the emotions of the artists.

Adi and I did the rushin' river ride multiple times and got really wet, especially the second time. We saw the fireworks and water show as usual. All in all, it was a great trip.

Summer in India

Work stuff and kids' vacation fell into place allowing us to go to India for 7 weeks. I took a one week trip from India to Zurich for work.

Zurich
Besides work, I drove an electric bike throughout the city. Its a beautiful city. On the weekend, I went to Lucerne by train and from there to Mt. Pilatus on one day on cogweel railway. Its the steepest cogwheel that took us through the clouds. The view from up there is breathtaking! The next day, I went to Rigi Kulm which was equally beautiful and scenic.

India

India was all about meeting people and having great food, as well as work trips to Lucknow and Delhi. The kids spent extended time with their grandparents which was great. Adi used to go swimming and learn the guitar in Surat. It was one refreshing change from the usual for us.
