Gargantuan ants have invaded my house! They are crawling all over everything including me...but I am coming to realize I think they are friendly...so far not one of them has bit me...if that stays the case I think I will be ok with their presence...

OK. Yes, Indian men have reached out and touched me many a time, to my dismay, but today a friend showed me there is photograpic proof! We were looking through her pictures from our trip this past week and there is one where I am climbing onto an elephant and an Indian guy had his hand right on my tush! Geesh!

Today I spent a lot of the day trying to arrange flights to Thailand and to the big P country. My friends Ben, Bev, and I are heading to what I am calling the land of mystery...I have always wanted to go there and now I will in a little more than 3 weeks. I will land in the big P and spend a week wandering the land among the people there. How cool is that?

My friends just left. They were here and we cooked ourselves a very nice Americanish dinner. Cheeseburgers, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, carrots and cucumber...ok that is an Indian thing, and vanilla coke!  Yum yum!

I met my neighbors tonight when I was sent to find some flour for dinner. They have invited me back next week for chai and snacks. I am looking forward to that! I think I am going to ask the eldest daughter to help me learn Kannada so I can speak to the people in my neighborhood...Imagine if people in my neighborhood started coming to know the Father?? Coolness..
