finally!!!!!

sheesh! it sure took long enough!

Well, it goes without saying this time... I Am In India.

And so are Christoph and Vishaka.

So far we've had some tea and fresh orange juice, and taken showers.

BUT.. Vishaka and I are both missing one bag each. The clothes bag, for me. Boo. Luckily I happened to have a spare shirt in the one bag of mine that DID make it so I'm not COMPLETELY filthy.

First impressions of India? Dark, crowded. That was because the sun just came up a little while ago, and the airport was a huge cluster of people all over the place. And the roads to Vishaka's house were packed with buses, trucks, cars, very small 3 wheel cars called auto(rickshaw)s, old men on bikes, people struggling to collect loose cattle (3 separate incidents of this), and people just standing around in the middle of the road, ALL AT 5AM.

I can't imagine what rush hour would be like.

I'll take some pictures and introduce you to Vishaka's family sometime soon, but now it's apparently time for breakfast.
