Bangalore bontanicals

After landing in a partial monsoon last night, we eventually made it to the ground and into the bus, since Indigo does not have gate rights anywhere, it seems. Apparently in the 70s there were gate wars at airports in the US, and my favorite Indian airline has not yet found the money to get gate rights anywhere we've been. But they make their flight attendants wear wigs, which is hilarious.

This morning we went to the botanical gardens and saw lots of palm trees and over 700 varieties of cacti. The cacti caretaker offered us seeds, which we might have taken if it weren't illegal to bring plants back to the US. There was a 20 year old cactus inside!
