well.
we're in india.
we arrived around 6 hours late to the airport. i had the funniest flight. i was sitting in between two guys who were flying to india to make a film about a friend who is a marathon runner. they joked and laughed the entire flight with me. funny because when i realised i was between them i was a little nervous. aaron didnt want to switch and then he ended up next to a large indian lady. watched a few movies and read some book.
through indian customs and met by the bearded smiling face of mr clifton shipway. we hopped into a taxi (beaten up van) and went to charlie and kennys house. also there was charlies wife angelie and their two daughters fiona (ana) and rose (twylah).
rested had some breakfast then went to markets. bought a new memory card for my camera (so i dnt have to burn my pics to cds. it was scary at first but soon you get used to the people talking to you and getting in your face. clifton is nasty to them in hindi (and apparently he can get away with it because they think he must be important as he speaks hindi and is white). its also funny to see what price they will give aaron and what price clifton can bargain to.
we have driven around in autos (rickshaw motorised) and visited some tombs in a park. visited some of cliftons close family, back to charlie and kennys to eat dinner (real curry with chicken) then talking and off to sleep.
today we booked our tickets on the train to go to dehraduhnn tonight and to agra on sunday (after hosea arrives). we'll meet pricilla tomorrow as well which is nice.
of to go make some travel plans and drink chai.
happy birthday for tomorrow auntie helen!!!!!)
