The time has come to post on my blog - here we are in 2008 already - almost half way through January. I just completed a very extensive holiday together with Gloria my friend from Canada. She came Dec 12th and left Jan 10th. In that time we visited Jaipur, Agra (Taj Mahal, Agra Fort) and Delhi. We travelled by Train, bus, rickshaws, and taxi. Then we got back to Lonavala Dec 22nd and left for Goa Dec 23rd. This is my favorite place to enjoy Christmas and New Years. We really enjoyed the sun, sand and surf! There were lots of others there. We were blessed to be able to stay in a friends flat for only Rs400 per day - wouldn't be able to afford it any other way. This wasy we could occassionally eat at home and then eat out on other occassions. The nicest was to be able to eat dinner in a shack at the beach and enjoy the sunset and surf. We drove down to Goa and experienced two different roads - going was a horrid road that seemed to take forever but coming back was very pleasant going through lovely country side. We cut about 4 hours off driving time going this way.
Now we are starting the enxt quarter at the base. We expect about 85 students for 4 schools and from many different places in the world. The place will really be humming for the next few months while they attend their classes. It is exciting to see such an increase in attendance.
We are really enjoying lovely weather these days - lovely warm days and cool nights - can even use a quilt to snuggle up in.
That's it for now - wishing you all a very properous and joyous new year!!!!!!
