Day 2 : Of Oars and Glory Holes

We Stayed at the Hardman House in Carson City. I would recommend it to anyone who travels this way. Carson City is another matter altogether - there's nothing much to it that we could see.
We made our way to Lake Tahoe; Kings Beach on the Northern shore. What is it about water and the sun that makes women look so beautiful? Or maybe it's the bikinis :-). Joking apart, Lake Tahoe is beautiful - we are coming back!


The drive to Sonora is scenic; and it turned out to be entertaining in ways I hadn't expected. It started with the wife yelling - "You should pick up a 'hore from that store" I couldn't believe my ears and turned the car around double quick before she could change her mind. It turned out to be a store selling oars (see pic). Turning around had it's advantages. We found another store. Well, what can I say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so judge for yourself! And both these were in a town called Angel's Camp. I'm not kidding, angels, no less. All I needed was a store selling MILFs to complete the picture.

We are staying at the Gunn House Hotel in Sonora. It's a historic hotel built in 1850. It's beautiful. And what hospitality! The owner walked us to our room!! Right across from the hotel is the Bombay restaurant - yes, you guessed it, an Indian restaurant. It's the last thing I expected to find in Sonora, a town of 5000. As we were driving in, I had asked Geetha what she wanted for dinner and she said 'Chicken Biriyani" (for the uninitiated, it is a popular Indian dish). Well, she got her wish! And damned good biriyani it was too! We are going back there tomorrow - maybe for some kababs.

My bottle of rum is taking a beating. I will soon need another one. Thanks Pat, for introducing me to the world of 'Mount Gay''. Yes, that's the name of the rum - it's made in Barbados and it's called Mount Gay! Ha ha. From the very straight and narrow, I am quickly turning bi-curious!
