Today I finally got to meet up with my cousin's law school friend! (who I have been in contact with for a while now about all sorts of things concerning being an American in India)
We met up at Hauz Kaus Village, where my friend Margaux and I were dropped off my the auto rickshaw and told by the people we asked to go down a sketchy alley to find the Flip Side Cafe. Margaux, being more adventuresome than I, boldly walked down the dirt alley in the fine Sunday morning sun to find the sign, which led up a sketchy staircase. After following this short but strange route, we emerged into a hip, independent cafe, with all the comfort of a hipster hang out: black and white photos, dark hard wood floors, and bright and clean painted walls. But more exciting than the atmosphere (especially to my french friend) was the menu: crepes. Sweet crepes, savory crepes, and pizza.
Caitlin and I spent some time at the cafe, exploring the nearby ruins of Hauz Khas (pictured below), Dilli Haut (hut? I don't know), and then returned to her house and visited the apartment of a friend. A good day, but I am exhausted now, being out during the hottest time of the day, so instead of writing a better blog post, I'm just going to put up pictures and go to sleep. (see, I wrote a good first paragraph, and then gave up).
