Further up and Further in

Well, kiddos, this is almost the end. I have a few final things to say about my time in India, and a few more pictures to post, but I have now returned to the Western hemisphere. Lisa also left India two weeks ago. My brother and sis-in-law came to pick me up from the airport, and I snuck into our house and surprised my fam. My brother videotaped it, so I'll try to post it before this blog is more or less abandoned...

I'm posting pictures of when Lisa and I were dressed (note: we did not dress ourselves...still haven't figured out how to put on a saree) in sarees, shortly before each of us left.

It's strange to be home. I miss the unpredictability of India already. My time there seems like a dream now, except for the Tamil phrases that escape my mouth now and again. And the head bobble. Who's going to help me satisfy my never-ending curry craving? I don't have time to make curries and sambars and rasam and idli and tamarind rice on a regular basis. I tried to eat some chicken last night, but I don't think I can stomach it yet. Slowy I'll ease myself back into the non-veg culture. Perhaps.

welcome back, kaycee. thanks for being such a gift to pathway, and thanks for the insightful and funny blog.
