Homeward Bound

I'm writing this from an internet cafe in Bangalore, about a 5 hour train ride from Pannai. It is a fun city, even though it is very westernized. We are staying in a hostle and it reminds me alot of the whole Rome Budget Travel experience, which was amazing. The train ride was nutso, but I've learned to expect that from this country (I say this with love).

Kerri's friend Liezbeth vistited the orphanage all last week. She is on vacation from her Peace Corps assignment in Thiland. She is a very fun girl and it was nice to have someone else to hang out with for a while. We went to a little village and went walking in rural aggriculture fields and I milked a cow. I asked her a ton of questions about what the peace corps is like. I can't imaginge being gone for 27 months, but I think it would be an amazing experience. Some other time.

It seems very, very strange that I head home in a week. On a logistical note, I am trying to change my flight home to July 31st(4:05 p.m.) instead of Aug. 1st (3:00 p.m.) because Kerri's flight is the 31st and I don't want to hang out in Chennai with all my luggage for a day by myself. If I can change the flight, I will be back on the 31st. If anyone can pick me up from the airport on either of those days, please let me know. I will try to update once more if I can. Also, if you wrote me an e-mail last week and I didn't respond, it's because my AOL account deleted a bunch of messages i didn't read, so please send it again and I'll get back to you. Thanks!
