Have you ever had a Gola?

This week we went to an annual home-show in our city with our friends, Mark and Aimee. I never did find a few items we needed but we sure had fun! There, we saw the "Gola walla" ('Gola man') quickly spotted with his big ice grinder and colorful syrup bottles. It's one of Merrilea's and Maria's favorite Indian cold snacks. It's basically ground ice on a stick, drenched with a sweet, flavored syrup! Below's Maria eating a Mango Gola.

I found a great article written by an Indian about the Golas. I think you'd enjoy reading it:

Read the article - guy writes well! :-) Glad to see Maria enjoying herself ... I think our girls would LOVE that kind of thing as they like homemade slushies, although we've never put them on a stick.....

BTW your camera takes great pics.

Love yah.
Me.
