Internet woes
Greetings from FFC. You will have noticed that our blogging activities have been a bit reduced over the past few days. This is the way of Indian internet connectivity. FFC and GPS have been offline all weekend. (sigh) We have had a successful few days since our return from Kerala. The whole group worked both Saturday and Sunday at FFC playing KOOB, soccer, stella ella olla, having henna designs put on, painting various wall and murals, cuddling babies, playing with toddlers, and working with the kids in special care. Tomorrow the playground installation begins and we will be doing a major shopping expedition with several shopping lists from various projects here at FFC. We’re all safe and sound and are cherishing our last days here in India. At dinner we were discussing how it feels like we’ve been here for months. Time has kind of slowed down but none of us are complaining.
See you all soon at the airport.

Hey Barb,
Sounds like you are all having a great time!!! It sounds very very busy and what an experience for all of you.
Enjoy the rest of your time there. We just got back from Japan yesterday and because of the time change missed a whole night of sleeping so needless to say I am exhausted today on our first day back at school. Japan was phenomenal….we did so much it almost seems like a blur but definitely a memorable vacation.
We’ll see you soon! Got to celebrate Rod’s birthday when you get back. Can’t wait to hear all your India stories!!!

Enjoy the rest of India! (The long term forecast often is wrong, but there seems to be a chance of some snow on Sunday and next Monday!

(and yes, dani, when you start telling us ‘everything’, as you promised, we probably will eventually beg you to stop already!! – xoxo)

Hello everyone – spotty internet all around. We (Aidan’s parents and brother Ronan) are in the rainy, snowy, avalanche-y wilds of B.C. with intermittent access to the ‘net, but we were so happy to hear from Aidan this morning. I know it feels like you’re at the very end of your trip, but there are still 4 days to go before we see you at the airport. MOST IMPORTANT: HAPPY BIRTHDAY AIDAN! First birthday away from the family. It doesn’t sound like Aidan is reading the comments on this blod (he forgot we were in B.C.) so whoever is reading this – please given him love and birthday props and lots of hugs, especially if you’re an attractive girl. See you all soon! Can’t wait!
