Who would have thought that we'd spend our 4 year anniversary in India?! Wowza :) We had an interesting little outing, which made the whole day feel very Indian! The idea was to stroll into town, sit in a nice AC cafe', try to eat some western-ish food & just relax for a few hours.

Well, we couldn't really stroll into town-- we had long distance & time restraints, so we decided to bike into town! So, Matt peddled & I rode side saddle on the back like any normal Indian woman :) haha, I wish I had a picture! Man, it was a bumpy ride! No paved streets for the first 3km so it was potholes and rocks all the way--& a sore bum :) Got into town just in time for the electricity to go out, womp, womp. No AC for us! ...got a funny little pizza, picked up some desserts & headed back out to the orientation site. We ended up playing games & celebrating with everyone once we got back. All in all, it didn't turn out as planned, but ended up being a great day! Such is life in India :)

We've been majorly slacking on the blog front! Surprisingly, it is super difficult to find internet access out here! I thought there'd be wi-fi around, but it has been nearly impossible to find.

Also, I don't have very many pictures...I know, that's so bad! I would love to take more, but pulling out the camera brings extra attention that I'd rather not have!

So, here's what I've got :)

At the conclusion of orientation, the group pr*yed this over each person. Very cool experience.

This & the two photos below are actually in middle class neighbourhoods.

Roof top photos with Aasha. She & her husband found it quite funny that Matt & I have her name tattooed on us :)

Her name is glory <3
