Travels

While I was traveling (see below), our children have been very busy themselves, including watching Narnia's Prince Caspian - here's what the sign looked like in Malegaon:

The movie title is both in Hindi and Urdu.

I just came back from a 2 week trip -- Pune - Mumbai - Nasik - Malegaon - Nasik - Mumbai - Pune. Two visitors from Spartanburg, SC - Ross and Paul joined me and had a great adventure in these communities. We even hooked up wih a veteran visitor from SC, Bill and his wife in Mumbai!

Meeting new friends in Nasik

More new friends in a madrassa in Malegaon

Paul and the man in this photo (front right) are both lawyers! It was great seeing his office and his power looms as well!
