We left Bangalore on Tuesday, and thanks to a short flight… made it here for the first time without jet lag! We are welcomed by Sri’s parents, grandmother, as well as his sister (Padma) and her son (Maneesh). It’s so nice to be amongst family in India… food just shows up, all of our creature comforts are met, and Kaeshev has someone to play with (other than his adversary Noe). We are getting settled in and other than a nasty high fever and cold that Sri has had for the past two days… we are generally well.
Today was Noe’s birthday and she had so many new clothes she didn’t get a chance to wear them all. It is Indian custom (here anyway) that you receive new clothes on your birthday. She loves dresses and skirts, especially the long, flowing, shiny ones but hates too much attention when she wears them. It is quite comical.
We have a family function for Shivani (Sri’s brother’s daughter) tomorrow. So we’ll be all decked out, and I’m sure the pics will be colorful. Since the head photographer has been on the couch or in bed since we arrived, we have yet to take too many pictures. Hopefully, he’ll bounce back soon.
That’s all for this blog… I hope to post more soon. We still don’t have internet connection in PuliPaka, but I will post when I come into the city.
Love and miss you all.
