17-mile drive and DANDIYA

Had a busy weekend. Went to this 17-mile drive that a lot of people talk about and is a major tourist attraction. I think I expected too much out of it. If you have been to Bigsur and covered the 2-3 hour stretch of PCH from there, this wouldnt thrill you. The trees though, were unusual and looked like creepers having a long trunk. There is a mammoth golf course throughout the drive, with some holes right next to the ocean. Playing golf would have been a nice experience. Spent around 3-4 hours. Came back and had to get ready for DANDIYA. We were just about to leave when we discovered that all the tickets were sold out. I was so pissed, but still wanted to give it a shot. So we went there and put our names in the waiting list. After a lot of confusion and hoopla, we got the tickets. This thing was fun. A packed desi crowd, good company and good songs. The bare foot got me blisters. :(
