The trip was long and tiring from Boulder to Bangalore. From cool days, blue skies and sunshine, we arrived to a tropical lush oasis. Or so I thought. The first day found us wandering the hot, steamy, sweaty, "hard to catch your breath" interior pathways of the apartment complex. Lush plants, fragrant flowering bushes, and palm trees who formed welcoming archways, greeted us; but there is always more than meets the eye.
It wouldn't be long before we realized that we would miss little things, and be surprised by the comprises we would need to immediately make. The 14 foot ceilings in the apartment and marble floors were beautiful. The flat screen TV's in the living room and master bedroom were a pleasant surprise. The lack of a bath tub in the bathrooms was an unpleasant surprise...and the propane tank for cooking on the cook top (there was no oven) was something I wanted to avoid all together! Mirror and Contrast: day to day life was different.
