Once Again, an Example of a Small World

Yesterday, Kristin and I had a lunch/dinner at the new crepe place in town. If anyone who reads this ever comes to Bloomington and goes to the crepe cafe, the egg and mushroom crepe is excellent.

Anyway, as we were chatting, we discovered that we both went to eat at the same Italian restuarant, Il Forno, in Manali, India. The restuarant is located between the windy road from new Manali and old Manali. Located in a log cabin style building, it offers a beautiful view of Manali and the surrounding Himalaya foothills, especially at night. The quietness and serenity the restuarant location offers is a nice getaway from all the hussle and bussle of Manali (it seems like every Indian, tourist, and all their mothers are there during the summer months). Though I wouldn't suggest getting the local red wine, the Italian food there isn't bad either - especially considering where you're eating it at.

It's funny we both had dinner there, a year apart from each other (especially considering all the foreign restuarants in Manali). It's fascinating to think about the different memories we both had at that same place during different spheres of time, all in a little Himalaya foothill town.
