All is well with me

Hello, I hope all is well with everyone. I am doing pretty well. I am deeply saddened by the attacks in Bombay, but Lucknow is on the other side of the country, so no immediate effects are seen here.

The rains have finally begun in Lucknow and it is raining once or twice a day, almost everyday. The great part about the rains coming is that the weather seems to have cooled considerably (although I only know the temperature when Uncle Tom emails me). With cooler weather, I am sleeping better at night and enjoying my walks in the morning more and more. The downside to the rains is that everything seems to be a little damp and it sometimes gets a little humid.

School is going well and I am continuing to slowly improve my Urdu. Next week is the school break and I am going to head up to the hills (in search of a little cooler weather, the mountains, and maybe some fancy shawls). I am going with three other girls in my program, and we should have a lot of fun. I probably won't have internet access while I am gone, so expect the next update early the following week. It should be an interesting one, with fun adventures and pictures included!
