Ideally, I would have liked to take Jane somewhere nice for dinner on Valentine's Day. But it's not really a good idea to be out too later around here. More than anything, getting a cab at night is no easy task. So since we always enjoy afternoon tea, I started searching for places that offered a special afternoon tea. There were quite a few of these, since afternoon tea is a bit British tea and England held control of India for quite sometime. There are a couple of really elegant (and expensive) teas at a couple of the five star hotels. However, the recent strike by Uber meant it is almost impossible to get a cab. Fortunately, I found out about a place relatively nearby--close enough that we could take one of "auto-rickshaws" which are only capable of going relatively short distances. The place was Elma's Bakery, and though we had difficulty finding it, it was worth the trouble. The afternoon "high tea" as it is called consisted of finger sandwiches, muffins and dessert. We made the mistake of ordering two when one was obviously enough to share. So it ended up being an early dinner with still enough to take home for dessert tomorrow
