A few quick notes to make you smile.
#2: On the way to work this morning I saw a girl I'd seen before sitting on the median of the road next to a burning tire. I asked our driver why she's always sitting there and if she asks for money. He laughed and said, "No, no, no, she is not asking for money, she is crazy!" I asked if she stays somewhere nearby and he said, "No, she is not staying anywhere, even she does not know what she is doing!"
#3: There is a new cafeteria at work operated by a nearby restaurant and I can get a huge plate of rice, noodles, chicken, or Chinese vegetable ball things for $1. Street food cooked in a totally sanitary kitchen at the Consulate. A.mazing.
#4: Thumper is really trying hard to say "fork," "Foster," "fan," "sit," "shirt," and "sure," but it just isn't working for him yet... he can, however, say "I like juuuuice," and he runs through the house screaming it over and over :-)
It's late and I can't pull together a coherent blog post so I leave you with those pearls from our Hyderabad experience. Next time Pancho or I will write about Thumper's Kangaroo debut, our trip to Golkonda Fort during which Pancho experienced a pickpocket attempt, and our first Holi festival which will happen next week. Missing you all!

#1: Our driver says they just burn leaves here but the piles of burning trash I see everywhere indicate otherwise. I realized today that I'm not getting sick, I don't have a cold, I am just sensitive to the extreme car pollution on the roads and all the smoke in the air from the burning piles of garbage. I thought I was just allergic to pollens! On a similar note, they fumigated the courtyard of our building and I looked out the window to see nothing but fog and thought the apartment was on fire. Don't worry, just spraying for mosquitoes. Our air conditioner caught on fire last weekend and that wasn't nearly as smokey.
