so, we're here and loving it. we arrived yesterday afternoon unscathed, except for our first initiation to india which involved marcie cutting her knee on the taxi cab door. it was a lovely sight complete with blood, car grease and rust. today it looks fine. carmen was totally shell shocked by the hustle and bustle of chennai. sorry no pictures because carmen was too shocked to figure out how to turn on the camera. we escaped the havoc of the city and drove a few hours, now we are just north of pondicherry (look on google maps!) we love this place! a little thatch hut; the perfect combination between indoors and outdoors...there are little 1 cm. gaps in all the wood slats which allow the breeze to come through. it comes complete with our own hammock and bicycles. breakfast is free and the most delicious we've ever tasted. we wish we were cows with seven stomachs to enjoy it all. the people are beautiful and wonderful and so accommodating. we are getting used to being called mam and sir. it is so hot here we are getting used to being wet all the time but the sun is so lovely and we have the occasional ocean breeze drift over our way. sorry we will send more personal e-mails sometime when we can get to a keyboard that is a little more obliging than this one (ha! that will be the day) love you all lots.
marcie + carmen
