CRAP.
Hmmmmmmm.....
It's quite interesting to see how one's perceptions of a place can change over time. Delhi once seemed crazy, noisy, dirty, full of hassles and a little out of control. Now, a little under four months later, it's clean and nice and easy to get around in... I've changed.
After an epic 42 hours of train travel (there is never fear of boredom when riding second class in this country), I arrived back in the capital on the day before Holi, a water and colour festival. Those who wish to remain clean during Holi had best stay inside. Gangs of kids armed with dye filled water balloons and water pistols attack anyone who looks remotely clean, while everyone else walks around throwing brightly coloured powders on everything that moves (and lots of things that don't move too.) I threw myself into it and had a great time.

Hey rance!
sweet pictures! Long time no post and i'm sorry -my internet and I have not been getting along, but to recap - school. Well, and a bit of travel - went to Camrose and saw everybody, that was definately different, which I hope to explain in person someday. School's been busy, definately alot expected but i've been climbing alot too - nothing advanced at all, but getting into it and its been fun.
glad to see your getting involved (althoug i never doubted you would!!) miss you, take care and have a great rest of your trip!
keep us posted!!

Matt,
Hey im so glad to see a post. I miss them, and we miss you (tyson and I) I have not seen you on msn for awhile either, how sad. When do you come home? Will you see us before we take off on May 1st? I hope so i need some moral support in getting me pumped up,im so nervous and anxious at the same time. It looks like you have changed and are enjoying India. Are you off to Thailand soon? Im student teaching now, and have 6 weeks left. Im not really enjoying my school so it makes it a little difficult, but im trying to be optimisitic somedays are a lot worse than others. Can't wait to see more posts and to here from you.
Sara and Tyson
