Wedding Season!

It's holiday season right now which means it's wedding season too :) The other night we went to our friend's son's wedding. It was a Christian wedding, so much different than a Hindu wedding. I love this girl's smile (below). She's newly married.
This is the foot of the little girl that sat in front of us :)
Here is the bride and her mother. A lot of brides in Christian weddings will wear a white sari and a veil.
This bride had some lacy gloves!!
At one point in the wedding they had Adam go up front to pray. He took Diya up there with him and as he was praying he kept moving further and further away from the microphone - which means that he was moving Diya closer and closer to it. At one point she grabbed the foamy thing that covers the mic (you can see it in her hands in the pic below if you look closely). All the women laughed (I guess they were looking at her during the prayer time :) haha!)
Here's the bride and groom.
Here is Diya at the wedding :) haha!
I love her little tongue! :)
Here's Aashini playing on the floor during the wedding - it was really long :)
Here's the groom.
I've hardly ever seen this, but for this wedding the groom got henna on his hands too :)
This is our friend Deepak and his son Ashish (it means blessing).
This is our friend Kamla below in the white sari. It's her son that's getting married ;)
These are our friends Deepak & Sunita and their sons Ashish & Daniel (with a sad Diya). The photo itself isn't very good, but I wanted to post it anyway :)
The girls LOVED getting all dressed up for the wedding! They love to dress up!

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...
