We had a long weekend due to Easter which was nice we really got a chance to get to know the area and people here. On Friday we decided to rent mopeds and go out to the beach, but we had so much fun that we kept them until Monday. A friend of ours is renting a beach house a little ways down the road so we went out to see him and met some really great people from all over the world, friends from Australia, couchsurfers from Canada and France, and students from Holland and Italy. We have been meeting so many wonderful people here, there is a nice international crowd in Pondicherry, it used to be a French colony, and between that, Auroville, and its cleanliness, it is a hub for both international and Indian travelers.

Driving a moped in India is extremely scary and extremely fun and the same time. I loved being able to just explore the city and surroundings. Indians are crazy drivers so it takes a few days to get comfortable driving in the traffic here, really the only thing with the right of way are the cows.

Ate a chocolate bunny, a few days late, but still counts.
