On our last evening in Udaipur, Mom booked dinner at the resort.  It was also a celebration for her birthday which would happen in two days.  I am including here an excerpt from the diary of Tito Joe who writes very well and could not describe it better than any of us.  Thank you Mom for a wonderful dinner, it was the best meal we had in our whole stay in India.

Mom’s prayer before the meal – she really takes it seriously and even writes it down 🙂
