I don't have a lot of time, but I just wanted to let you all know I've arrived safely. I'm sorry it has taken so long to hear from me, the atm in town ran out of money so I finally had to break down and borrow money from someone to pay for the internet cafe. So it goes in India it seems.

I'm having a really fantastic visit so far (day 2). I feel really healthy, moreso than ever because the diet is so great and I'm forced to fall asleep at a decent hour. (roomies, nocrackmedicine is working, too)

Ummm let's see. The living cnditions are pretty okay, though they are about to not be great in a couple of days when they move us into the girls' hostel. No hot water, practically no mattress and a 6 pm curfew (for the girls only, of course). That's okay, though. I have faith that I can be adaptable, and we're just lucky that the Dalai Lama is coming this year (which is why we're being kicked out of the nice rooms--to make room for the DL's entourage).

Okay I'm out of time. More later. I met my buddy yesterday, so I have some experiences to relate, but I have to get money from the ATM first. Sorry this post was so dry.
Love you guys!

And try not to email, it is difficult accessing it on this computer. Perhaps comments here? Whatever, if email is what you're comfortable with, I'll do my best. Don't expect an immediate reply.
