I am Going to my Country. America.

You’ll have to imagine the title of this post in Indian English, because the word is out here in Sittilingi, and a bunch of the staff have been coming up to me and asking/announcing this. So, consider this my official blog announcement: I’m going back to America, on Thursday, May 14. Soon! I’ll leave Sittilingi on Wednesday, hopefully do some last minute shopping at the mall in Bangalore (so make your requests now, people!), sleep for a few hours, and then head to the airport to go home. Home! I’m excited, in case you couldn’t tell.

I was originally planning on staying in India a bit longer, and traveling around with various family members who were planning on coming, but I decided I’d rather go home instead. Right now it’s either beastly hot or pouring rain (monsoons) all over India except in the Himalayas, and since none of us are big trekkers, it didn’t make sense for anyone to travel all the way here just to go to the mountains. Hopefully I will be back in Sittilingi at a more temperate time of year, when it makes more sense for others to visit me and to travel around the country.

Those of you who are reading this from Boston, I look forward to seeing you soon! And if you’re reading this from somewhere else, come visit me in Boston soon, because chances are Boston is a lot closer to where you are than is India.
