Hello, Good-bye, Hello!

I have arrived! To be more specific, I have arrived three times to India: first, to the airport in Bangalore, which I may have arrived at on Friday or Saturday, depending on where in the world you're standing; second, to Trivandrum, which was at 4 am and 10 pm at the same time; third, to the Ayurvedic retreat center, which happened during breakfast this morning.

This, of course, was confusing, because I had been served breakfast at both of my previous arrivals and felt that after two breakfasts it was certainly time for lunch! But no lunch at 9 am. Which was also 1:40 am, according to the 30 second phone call I made to my parents so that they would not suffer believing that I had been human trafficked or crashed among the Himalayas!

In short, I have arrived! Things I did today (which also includes yesterday and the day before, depending on when I landed) include: swimming in the Arabian sea, gorging on pakoras and bananas, ayurvedic massage, yin yoga (which I fell blissfully asleep during practice), more gorging, more falling asleep. Now today feels like tonight, and it is certainly time for bed!

I want to swim in the Arabian Sea! I hope you took pictures. I only went to CT today and handed out magazines. Your trip wins. I did watch the godfather though, so I guess the day ended okay.

PS... I've decided to comment on all of your posts because I think you need to know what's going on with me. I wonder how all of your readers will respond to this.
