Hey fam and friendlies,
Sorry to be MIA for so long. It's been pretty busy and I ran out of internet....
We went to 2 different weddings this week (go figure that the stars would dictate that Valentine's Day would be the most auspicious time to get married... also, the two most used adjectives in India are "auspicious" and "super". ) one of them was a Brahmin wedding, and we got to stay through quite a few of the ceremonies. We weren't up for the whole 24+ hours, but dang we looked good in our wedding saris, if I may say so. It was so beautiful and so colorful.
One of the girls that was supposed to come with us originally joined us for 2 weeks....She
(Rachel) had gotten her appendix out at the end of last semester and was told by her doctor that she wasn't allowed to go to India....a verdict he rescinded a week after we all left for Vizag. So she was pretty bummed, but still had her visa, passport, and a ticket, so she's here now! We took another trip to Simhachalam Temple yesterday and both she and Christian shaved their heads... so many baldies! We're currently in the airport in Vizag on our way to Kolkata, enjoying the few minutes of Wifi we have. Hallelujah! Sorry there are no pictures right now, but I promise to make it up to you all soon!
Love you all more than barfi! (our favorite dessert sweet... not made of barf)
