Well we made it to Ahmedabad. This is where my grandparents and family live and where my parents grew up. I will be here for about 10 days and then head to Bharuch for my volunteer work. It's was great seeing my grandparents, my cousins, aunt and uncle. We all live under the same roof which is nice there's always something going on. In a couple of days we'll be celebrating Diwali (Festival of Lights/New Year). During that time we pretty much eat and visit family members, and fireworks. The tradition is also to buy new clothes. It's always interesting coming back home and seeing the changes that have taken place in Ahmedabad. The biggest change I've seen is the environmentally friendly rickshaws. The banned the "unfriendly" ones since Ahmedabad was probably had the most air pollution in all of India. On occasion you may see a friendly rickshaw exhausting kerosene but it's rare now. The locals are now conscious to limit the use of fireworks or use environmentally friendly fireworks (which I don't think are super friendly). At any rate the fact that Ahmdabadians are more aware of the environment is good to hear.
Cheers!
ps - Thank you Skins for beating the Browns (sorry Ekta and Mikey). Thank you Dallas for losing to the Rams. Mr. Jones any comments?

Margee- about the game:
you weren't here to watch the game, so it's really a null point. Next year...
About India:
what's the temp? it drastically cooled from 81 to 60 in one weekend. You're missing Fall! Come back home.
About us:
We all miss you here and at the same time are extremely jealous of your adventures.
Take care,

Since you are in India I can not call you to tell you. However, Megan and I got engaged on Saturday morning and then watched the Nittany Lions destroy Michigan followed the next day by a Redskins win over the Browns. I had a good weekend!!!
