Good Bye Swains

This morning the Swains Janelda, Zac, and Terry left to head to South Africa and leave there Indian experiences behind........ I am not looking forward to saying goodbye to anyone else today, but alas we have to... I'm almost at my 100th post and must get it done before tomorrow.  The countdown says only 24 hours till we go home, but it is only 24 hours until we leave for Delhi and 3 days and 23 hours until we go home. 

Bye for now...

Kidz Camp Part 1

Hi,
The kids camp turned out great...  We used a fun idea that mommy did with me in Brazil which is taking shaving cream and spraying it on the table and letting the kids play with toys in the shaving cream.... not quite how it worked out...explanation........Zac climbed onto the table and was completely covered.  Soon Benjamin and Andrea were on the table too.  Then we cleaned them of and made a lava lamp followed by making applesauce!  It was very fun!!!  Here is a pic of all of us...

Left to right Me, Zac, Andria, Sam, and Benjamin...

Then on tuesday we went saree/sari shopping...  this was a lot of fun and yes now I have a saree and the blouses are being made!  Hopefully they turn out okay!!!  I have to post 4 more posts after this to get to 100 so wish me luck...

Fast/Faster/andFastest???

Hi again,

Sorry I haven't posted for lets see... 6 days???I think thats right, Anyway on Tuesday morning we headed of to Mumbai to pick of our Grandma (Neni.)We were planning to leave at 11:00, but turned out to leave at 1:00.Errrrr....   Well let's just say it wasn't our drivers fault it was the other drivers fault the one that was supposed to help us get to Mumbai.  He said he couldn't come so Vishal tried calling 5 people, but only the last one said he could come.  Soo finally Vishal arrived and said that we would have to pick up the other driver.  Errrrrrrrrrrrrrr again....   We finally picked him up and then headed to Mumbai.  About 2 hours down the road they stopped and said that they were going to take a lunch break and we headed over to the coffee shop.  Bought a samosa and then got back in the car...  We arrived at the hotel and headed down to go swimming.  After about 2 hours we went up to get ready to go get Neni.  We got to the airport and waited a out 1 and a half hours and then she came and we drove back to the hotel and ate mangoes and lichee's.  The next day was pretty much the same as the first time we came to Mumbai so I won't go into details.  We went to the temple, the laundry place, and the gate of India.  Almost got killed, kidnapped, or I'm not sure.  Let me explain...

We were on our way out of the gate way of India across from the Taj hotel.  A girl or younger lady came up to us asking for food.  We offer her money, but she doesn't except and tells to follow her to a little food stand to buy her rice.  Thinking she was being smart (because someone could hurt her for the money) we followed about 10 feet and then realized she wanted to go to a little alley somewhere about 50 feet away + we saw a bunch of men smiling.  So we went back and ignored her the rest of the time. 

Then we ate lunch and came home...

It's good to have Neni here (she actually just came in the door from taking Theo out poddy... YESSS) Hee Hee.  Oh another thing... I learned to respect knifes after getting a quite painful cut while cutting Mangoes.   Oh and one more thing as you read my title Fast/Faster/andFastest you'll understand after I tell you this.... 7 more days in Pune and 10 more days in India......  I've said in off....................
