New Baby :)

Our friends Deepak and family just had a baby :) They had a baby boy and named him Ashish - it means "blessing".Here he is :) He's definitely a cutie! He's only 3 weeks old :)
I took this pic this week and I liked it :) thought I'd share... This lady's job is to carry bricks (on her head) from place to place. I love how ladies here will still wear saris while doing hard manual labor!
You guys ROCK!!!

I always feel so badly for those ladies, doing all that hard labor, and half the time with their babies strapped to their back or playing right next to the cars zooming by. But you're right - the saris definitely dress up their look!

both of those boys are beautiful. anything in particular happen during a traditional indian birthing? I know yours was anything but conventional, so I think we missed some potential culture lessons there. share the quirks! :)

A,

I just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with you and A and all of the things you are doing. Of all the people I have reconnected with through myspace and other blogs, you two always stand out to me. You both seem to be living life with such purpose and direction. When other people (myself included) are blogging about new furniture, new cars, or going to the movies over the weekend, you two are talking about what new country you have visited, what new festival you just participated in, and new relationships you have formed, all while bringing along a beautiful new baby. I think that at the end of our lives, whenever that comes, all we really have are the people to whom we have shown love and poured out ourselves and the experiences we have collected along the journey. From where I sit, I would say that you both are well on your way to building true wealth. You both encourage me to re-evaluate my life and my priorities.

Take care,

Josh

Cooking!

Cooking is sooo much harder here. THis is how you "puree" vegetables when you don't have a blender or food processor (or power). Some people have those things, but most people don't. This is my friend Gita. She's mashing up some onions. It's a marble slab that's not polished and they use a big rounded rock and just roll/mash! It's cool!!

Protesting

There's some political stuff going on in our city (and now the country) right now. People are peacefully fighting against corruption. It's been very interesting to follow. Tonight there was some protesting in our neighborhood. Here are some more protesting pictures. There will probably be more protesting to come... we'll see what happens!

We're BACK! (with Rats!)

We made it back! The flights were so long (especially our 6 hour layover right off the bat) but we made it!! We flew from Tallahassee to Memphis (where the long layover was) and then Memphis to Detroit (see picture below). It was snowing in Detroit! The only snow we saw all the time in the states was at the airpots! haha! We left Detroit about an hour late because they had to De-ice the plane! I'm from the south so I had no idea that they did that... and that it would take so long! haha! We were an hour late coming into Amsterdam (where it was snowing too!) and had to rush to our gate (it was a blur of wooden shoes!)... When we got in the plane we had to wait about 1.5 hours while they de-iced that plane! So we got into the Captial at about 2:00 am!! When we got home we were welcomed to a rat infestation in our bathroom!!! EWWWW!!!! Aparently, if the toilet isn't flushed for a couple months and dries out, then rats can crawl UP the TOILET!!! yes... nice... They wrecked our ba...
