Finally in India

Hey peoples,
    I know it's been forever since I last posted, but we've been quite busy with packing and such thinks like that.
     The last few weeks has consisted of packing, waiting for a visa, getting a visa, getting plane tickets, and finally, leaving for India. The plane ride weren't too bad. We had three of them. The longest being about 14 hours, and the shortest being about an hour and a half. Our total travel time, including layovers, was about 55 hours. Part of that is we had a 24 hour layover in Dubai.    
     We got to our apartment,and we had no food. So, we went on an adventure last night. As we were exiting the front gate of the apartment complex, we discovered that the name of our apartment complex has the words "welfare housing" in it. Are we living in the projects?
     Anyway, in order to get to any kind of store, we had to cross two streets. Now, crossing the street in India is like trying to get across a stampede of bison. Basically, it's ridiculous. So, after crossing the first street, we discovered that we were going to have to hop over some barriers to get to where we could cross the other street. After crossing the second street, we searched for the store, found it, and got what we needed.
     After shopping, we decided to find something to eat. By this time, it was about 8:30 in the evening. Our first night in India, we ate Chinese food because it was the only thing we could find.

Well, I'll be back in the U.S. before anyone realizes it.
Birdie.
