Desperate Housewives in India

My heart jumped with excitement yesterday when I saw a few kids running through the lobby of our service apartment. Finally, some kids for our kids to play with. They looked a little older than Ellie, and were as loud and boisterous as ours. They ran out of their apartment door and were quickly scolded by their mom, who was only visible by her eyes as she was wearing a burka. The family quietly exited the building with their eyes following their feet. Patrick remarked to me: "my goal is to have a playdate with that family and have a picture of me with the mom... now show THAT to your mother's club in Los Altos." :)

We continue to be miserably sleep deprived. Hoping that the jet lag wears off and we can start enjoying our stay here. The people here continue to amaze me: friendly, helpful and really spiritual.
