Tessa in the lunch room with her class

Notice the monkey in the middle!!!

This is the story of the monkey on the playground...
      I was going to school like any other day, so I was going to the playground.  as soon as i stepped on the playground i saw,  right away, a wild (and from what i learned later very fierce), red bottom monkey running straight where all the kids where!!!! I only saw the back of the monkey so i really cant describe more than its butt. Four teachers came running out of the school yelling "Get off the playground!!!!" They shooed me off so i could not see the rest. but i did see they where bringing in another tamed, leased monkey that is always is around the school to scare the bad monkey off!!! that is he story of the monkey on the playground.

P.S later that resses i went to the library because they wouldn't let anyone on the playground!!!!!

One month into this...

I think we are now settled into  a routine with both much excitement and standard life stuff.

Last week there was the bomb at the high court, an earthquake, and 10 cm of rain in a few hours that turned many streets into rivers.

 It was also the week that Tessa got totally stressed out because 15 min before school she remembered she had a French quiz that she had not studied for, that Chase was disappointed to not get the lead role in the play that he was hoping for that Delaney’s computer crashed and that I realized that finish my work project was going to be a huge push in the next 3 weeks.

As one guy said the other day, our life here is pretty much the same as in France, but not really.

Old Delhi on 9/11

Today in Old Delhi we saw so many people in full garb that are muslim...the men in white, the women in black and my heart felt for all of us...people creating wars for power and how that causes all of us to suffer. I wanted so much to talk more with the people we saw today...but alas we only got to smile as we eat the wonderful bread they made in a tandori oven.
