So yesterday was Joey and Emily’s 1st anniversary (awwww) :) and Joey asked Brother Abu if there was a restaurant nearby that he could take Emily to. So when Brother Abu told him there was and that he would take us all there today to celebrate, we honestly thought it would be, at the most, in the next town.
DEFINITELY WASN’T! We got into the taxi probably 10 minutes before 5pm and didn’t get back until well after 8pm tonight. It took at least an hour, if not a little more to get travel there and back. It was awesome! The taxi just kept driving… and driving… and driving… and the 4 of us crammed in the back seat of the cab had NO clue what was going on. We went through village after village and then through a couple towns with actual banks in them, we dodged/survived hundreds and thousands of potholes (I only wish our internet was fast enough to post the video I took out the window of the backseat, you’d realize I’m not even exaggerating.) and not a moment too soon we finally arrived at the bustling, roadside restaurant called Linda Dor – and not 5 minutes after we sat down the rain DUMPED on us.
This restaurant really is more like a very large hut – but a millionaire’s hut. It was very nice, but other than the roof and some cement pillars, the whole restaurant is open. It’s raised a little bit though, with drains all along the sides so that the rain doesn’t flood in – which is exactly what would have happened had they not been there. Remember my post about the rain Emily and I got caught in? This rain was actually worse! It was crazy! I had to take a picture of it, even though it doesn’t quite capture the whole effect.
Anyway, the food was wonderful! Spencer even got the burger and fries he’s been craving! It was such a great time and a fun trip for us to take. Love this place!
Brother Abu, Joey, Emily (on the bottom, Spencer and I (on the top) at the restaurant. Happy Anniversary Joey and Emily! Glad you could spend your 1st one with us!!!
