We're Here! (and sleeping while sitting upright)

It's 6:05 pm Wednesday evening your time, 330am on Thursday in India, and we're connected to the internet!

I thought I'd use a few last molecules of adrenaline from our "taxi" ride from Bombay to Pune (maybe the bumpiest d adventuresome 300km we've ever traveled). We still don't know the drivers name (no English). Thank goodness for cell phones and a host who is a light sleeper until his guests arrived. He talked the driver in after a universally understood grunt, "Uh oh", followed by pulling to the side of the road to ponder where we'd gotten lost.

But it was at baggage in Mumbai that we learned of the three explosions in this city today. A lady we'd befriended in Newark, came to warn us. "I don't know if you've heard...but be careful." It really didn't panic us, especially since we were departing right away for another city, but we did ensure that both of us had cell phones and numbers of friends in India to call if we became separated through an incident. Overall, I'm proud of us for relaxing in trust that we are where we are supposed to be, and that Providence is watching over us.

I'd better head to bed before I begin sleeping while sitting upright...again. Yep, the final twelve hours of this 36 hour awake period, both Jill and I began to perfect the ability to sleep while sitting straight up (no where and no way to lay down). If we were cows you could tip us over pretty easily!!

Goodnight and thanks for your support and kind thoughts,

Jeff and Jill
