We visited one of the other Senior Couples, Elder and Sister Briggs. They are from Idaho. During this time we had the opportunity to stay at a hotel that offered a free (adventurous) buffet breakfast with more amazing India cuisine, and foods we have never tried before.

| GUN POWDER?? |
I sprinkled some "Gun Powder" on some of the food and drank some green Bittergourd juice that was served in test tubes. I was a little worried so I asked what the gun powder was. They couldn't tell me but assured me that it wasn't used for actual guns. They thought the word "Gun" was from the Telugu language.

| Fresh Bittergourd Juice |
The test-tube concoction was rather intriguing. I Googled what Bittergourd was and found it is actually quite healthy for you. We both enjoyed other exotic juices made from local foods such as carrot-beetroot juice.
I had them make me a "Dosa" with Masala inside. They offered several flavorful Chutney sauces. The red one that looked super spicy was actually sweet and mild. Sister Martin even put it on her Omelet.

We enjoyed our P-day with the Briggs. We not only saw some interesting sights, but they showed us the church building. There was a meeting going on there and we met a few of the members. The Elder and Sister missionaries were also there teaching someone.

FSM (below), almost resembles where we served our last mission in the (FSM) Federated States of Micronesia. But in this case it is a restaurant called, "The Flying Spaghetti Monster". It was pretty good.
