Hey Friends,

Yes its true, we made it here.  We faced no major hurdles as we traveled and are very thankful.    We have been jet lagging the past few days but are hoping to be over it before we start English school tomorrow.  Its been an adventure living on our own but the people here readily help us out with directions.  Transportation here is very interesting but a fun adventure.  Riding in the ‘autos’ (small green/yellow three wheeled taxis) is said to feel as though you are in a blow dryer… and rightfully said.  The high was 114 degrees yesterday.  The heat is definitely making us more appreciative of air conditioning and clean drinking water.  We’ve had all kinds of food since we’ve been here and its only been three days! (Indian, Lebanese, Chinese, and Mcdonalds )    Last night we went to see Shrek 4 and enjoyed experiencing an Indian movie theather- there were assigned seats and they were made for short legged people, but we like watching the Hindi previews and seeing what pop culture is like here.  We went to church with the C’s this morning and met two sweet Indian girls who we exchanged numbers with and are going to b study with this week.  We hope that they will show us around some of the more popular hang out spots for young people here.  We head to ASL (American School of Languages) tonight for conversational English club where i’ll see some of my students from back in January.  yay!  The three of us will be teaching English camps during the day for children and holding a night class for adults for the next six weeks, besides the week we’ll be in Dehradun for MK camp. 

We hope to have more consistant access to internet soon   Thanks for reading!

Word of the week: Sah-Hay-Lee…means friend for a girl. We learned this after we asked one of our new friends if she wanted to “hangout” and she had nooo idea what we meant. Haha! Learning some more survival Hindi! Woopwoop! More to come!- Grace
