Cows Cricket and Curry - OH MY!

My. My, how time has flown by. Miles and I are in our last few weeks left in India. It is a very bittersweet time for us. While we are greatly excited to be near our dear families again we are deeply saddened at the thought of leaving behind our Chennai families and close friends we have made here. Daniel (our Logos replacement) has arrived this week and will be living with us until our departure date which is approaching rapidly. The remainder of our time left will be training him and getting things ready to pass everything entirely over to Daniel to carry the torch on for us as we leave. I have already begun packing.

This has been home for us. India will always hold a very dear and special place in our hearts and we are praying that this is not the last time we are here. We would love to come back and enjoy all this fabulous city and country has to offer.

India, what a year we have had! Many friends, and many good times, and many memories.
Our lives forever changed, for the better...
And the adventure continues....

Sri Lanka Beach Vacation

Our time in India is quickly coming to an end. In fact, we only have three more weeks here...sad. Before we go, we decided to take a quick trip to Sri Lanka with our friends Ann and Taylor. Ann and Taylor work in Sparky's American Diner here in Chennai. We have really enjoyed getting to know them and their friendship has been a valuable part of our year here. We decided to go to Negombo, a town outside of Colombo with great beaches. We were able to get a nice hotel that was right on the beach and had a great pool.

We spent most of our time either playing in the waves of the India Ocean, relaxing in the pool, or reading and soaking up the sun. It was a great time for us to spend some time with friends that we'll be missing soon and relax before we begin our transition back home. Plus it was nice to make sure we come back from our year of perpetual summer sufficiently tanned.
