estamos en pune!! estamos en pune!!

Greeting from my new home Pune, Maharastra, India. Alisa and I reached Mumbai airport early Saturday morning and made our way through the beautiful valleys and hills down to Pune. The trip took 4 hours, and was a great intro in India...less then 1 minute from the airport I saw my first cow....it's true they just hang out as they wish. I also got a glimpse into one of the world's largest slums, Dharavi, where close to a million live in unimaginable conditions.

So far Pune has been a grand adventure, and the traffic is nothing short of insane!! I will be turning in circles my whole time here. Alisa and I have settled in nicely, seen some great sites...a 18th century wada (or palace), crazy shopping streets, I bought some Aladdin pants that the shopkeeper insisted on but I can't figure out how to wear. We also managed to eat at a great restaurant, accidently swallow some water while brushing teeth, and eat some raw veggies but still no punishment from the belly.

Sorry so short but we are meeting up with a teacher and visiting his classroom!! Playing with babies!! my fav. Tonight we meet up with our classmates and professors. I hope to write more soon, so much has already happened and I'm loving it!!
