Pune

Well, I have been spending my time trying to figure out how to post pictures on this blog. The best I could do was add the link to click on. We also need to start taking more pictures. We spend most of our time open-mouthed and too enthralled with all that's happening around us to get out the camera.

We spent the last three days in Pune, visiting Bob's office here in India. I honestly have to say that these are the nicest people in the world. We had arrived on Tuesday, hot, tired and cranky after a four-hour nail-biting ride from Mumbai. Mumbai is a HUGE city. Our hotel was located at the southern-most area, so our driver, Kishor, had to take us all the way north through the city before we could even get on the Pune highway. The driving here is hands down the craziest I have ever seen in my life. I spent the entire ride in the back seat in the fetal position. Bob kept making those little gasping noises. All I could say to him was, "Don't look. Just don't look." Kishor was chatting away to us from the front seat.

When we arrived at Bob's company, they greeted us with a traditional greeting which included a 'good-luck' dot on the head and a beautiful garland. They took us out to dinner and we had the nicest time. Bob has spent a lot of time there over the past couple of days, trying to absorb as much information as possible. I spent yesterday at the hotel spa and the afternoon sleeping.

Today, Kishor took us shopping at M.G. Road in Pune. I bought saris and salwar kameez' for me and some of my special girls back home. I love the beautiful fabrics and bright colors.

Tomorrow morning we are being picked up at 8am and driven back to Mumbai (Lord love us). I have to see Dr. Kaushal for monitoring.

Well, that's pretty much the update! We are adjusting to India, it seems!
