We have arrived safely....

Greetings from India!  After our 3 hour drive to Newark Airport, 14 hours in the air, and an hour drive to our hotel, we are beginning our adjustment to this culture.  Riding in the van from the airport was an exciting experience--driving on the opposite side of the road, the cow walking down the median strip, and cars somehow merging safely.  It's actually raining too, which apparently is not very common in February.  What is it that they say...New York is the city that never sleeps?  Well, India can fall into that category too.

It's 1:15 in the morning here, and we're running on very little sleep.  We've missed the entire Valentine's Day holiday (so Happy Valentine's Day to all of our loved ones at home), but just had our first Indian meal together and we're soon heading to bed....hoping we can sleep!

Everyone is doing very well.  All of our travels have gone smoothly.  We're hoping for a good night's rest for our full day tomorrow....adjusting to the culture, time change and shopping. 

Thanks for your continued prayers!  We just have two pictures to post....our last meal in Newark before we left and our first meal here together.

We'll update again as soon as we can!
