I hope he gets the chance to get out and see some of the sights. Some of the temples and so on are amazing. But the poverty is hard to get used to. I found it quite upsetting. I hope it turns out to be a positive experience for him. I'm glad you have lots of people around who can support you. Your bit about the single banana was really funny!

Ahhhhh....it warms the cockles of my heart to know I was the last on your list of people to call.

Seriously though - I'm glad you called me and that we got to talk.

I've never been to India, so can't help Paul out there. Just tell him to take pictures of the people and the culture and share with us!

And you've still got my cell number, right? Call whenever you want! Love you!

Here is my friend Ellen's link. She had a hard time adjusting to the poverty, too: http://areason2write.wordpress.com/

Check her out. She's been through it all in the past year.

At least the time change makes it easy to figure out when you can or can't call him. If that works as a silver lining.

Um, could you come clean my house, too??
Those pictures sure do make it seem like a whole different world. Will he be living in a hotel for six months?

Thanks for sharing!
