Du Pont in the morning, Hyderabad in the afternoon

This morning we went to a Du Pont innovation center, which is basically code word for we make really cool things here. The office itself seemed like it could be straight out of any major US city; unlike most of the places we've seen. I wish we were allowed to take picture, but sadly we weren't.

The best way I can explain this business is they work to improve car parts by using different materials to create car parts. I was mostly distracted by the touch and feel of all the plastics they had. I am fairly certain that I had my hands over ever thing they had on display. 

Thankfully, I wasn't the only one. The other people in my group were just as mesmerized as I was, but we did creep out our tour guide a bit. One of the more interesting things that happened is Amdrew ripped an "unrippable" business card. He also broke a glass shortly after... So it was a bit of a draw.

After that we had lunch at the hotel next to Du Pont. The Du Pont people took us there to continue our discussions about international marketing and how we are enjoying India. I, however, was more concerned with eating. The food was delicious, and for someone who was getting sick of Indian food it was a nice break to see foods and know what I was eating. I seriously regret not taking any photos of the restaurant because the set up was beautiful. The dessert table looked especially delicious. 

After that the rest of our day was devoted to traveling to Hyderabad. We arrived late that night and went straight to the rooftop bar and ordered a few drinks and some appitizers for dinner. Bridget also ordered some pizza, but I didn't have any of it. I focused on the Indian version of mozzerella sticks. They were similar to the American version, but with extra spice. 

Exhausted from all the traveling, we went to bed fairly early. Well there's that and the fact that the bar closed at 11...
