Michael and I were off to the dentist this day! We hopped on our scooter and drove to a little village called Mannancherry. There we would visit the dental clinic called Smile Dental Lounge!
Pictures on our journey to this village:
Tuk-tuks waiting for passengers.
At a train stop, waiting for the train to pass.
The SUPER fast trains zooms by!
Afterwards, everyone carries on to their destination.
I asked Michael to stop as we passed this church so I could take a picture of the women in their colorful saris!
We arrived at our destination!
I braved the dentist chair first! Normally, I don’t mind the dentist, but this time I became fearful when the sound of the cleaning instrument sounded, and felt like a drill!!! The pain was so bad, I almost stopped the session. But, she added numbing gel – that didn’t really help….
Michael was next, and after his appointment he corrected my assumption that a drill was used to clean my teeth – it was water pressure and a dentist without a lot of finesse!!!
While Michael was having his teeth cleaned, I went to the toilet…
Then walked around to check out the area!
I bought a cotton skirt at J&J’s Fashions! When I asked to take a pictures of the young girls, the youngest of the two was a bit fearful of me, but my smile softened her a bit! There were still posters hanging from the recent election.
I returned to the dental clinic just as Michael was finished. Next stop lunch! Lunch was okay – I did not enjoy the red tomato dish as it was mostly onions, so I helped Michael with his fried rice! As always, I enjoy paratha bread! The yellow potatoes were yummy! We finished with Indian tea. I believe the cook is preparing paratha bread?
Incredible India!!
S, 🙂
Glad you both survived your dentist appointment. Your pictures really do capture life in the area you are in. The paratha bread seems to be a favourite, maybe you can get the recipe before you leave. 🤔Looks very good. mama 😍
I’m hopefully going to spend some time learning to cook Indian food from our hostess, Mini! Paratha bread is on the list!!! 🙂
