Made it! After a 3 hr train ride and two mango juice boxes AND with a kid loaded up on THUMBS up kicking me..I made it to Bharuch. There was transport ready for me to Jhagadia which is about 20 min. It's a pretty rural area. The campus is nice and I will see more today. My living quarters is more than I can ask for. Most of the staff greeted me last night. I have orientation today. Last night was interesting since I could sleep much. My apartment overlooks a mosque. So at 4:30am I could hear "Alllllahhhhhhhhhh Akhhhhbar". Soothing alarm clock huh? With all due respect to Islam and it's follwers, I think 4:30am is a bit early to pray. But that's just me.
Lots to do today..
More to come. VOTE!!!!!
ps absentee ballot has been sent.

Dear Family and Friends, Over the next couple of weeks I will be updating and sharing with you all my adventures in India. As many of you know it's been a dream of mine to go back to India and do some grassroots/volunteer work. Through the support of my family, friends and colleagues it's happening! Disclaimer: Please excuse any grammatical errors or mispellings. My english elective in college was medical writing..enough said.
India/Gujarat
That's where I'll be...
