Hi Guys, Yeah, you can find pizza anywhere you look. The pizza hut joint is pretty decent, but the pizza toppings are a little different than what I am used to! Funny thing though, I cannot find a pizza joint that delivers, but the McDonalds across the street does!

Things are settling down, however, the regional leadership still have the area under a state of emergency. They continue to find small explosive devices around the city. I expect in a day or two, it will be back to what is considered normal locally.

Gil, the guide book I am using is from Eyewitness Travel. Like the Lonely Planet book, it has 7 pages on Hyderabad and 22 on Andra Pradesh. Although I am finding that the hotel staff actually has better information.

Although I have not started to wear the lunghi yer, I can see the need for it during these last days of the monsoon. It only rains once or twice a week right now, but when it does, it comes at several inches at a time! And with the lack of drainage, the streets easily fill with water. I have taken to another local custom, and that is wearing sandals about everywhere.

Anyway, enough rambling for now. Is anyone else having trouble with the blog?

Mike
