running with the indians

When we scheduled our time in India we set aside 2-3 days each for sickness. I felt this was very insightful of us to realize that we need to schedule around illness. What we did not schedule around was the strike taking place in India. We have been told to stay in our hostels because at times these strikes can become riots. Exhibit A (the picture on the right) is from the last strike due to fertilizer shortages. That peaceful protest turned into the next picture (right). This happened no more than a week before we arrived. The strike this time is for public transportation. Despite the warning not to, I think Taj and I want to go see what this "riot" is all about. If it gets to crazy it will be like we are in Spain running with the bulls...except we will be in India running with the Indians. Jeff can't come because of his ankle
Also jeff's cute mustache is beginning to bother him. Please comment on this post with encouragement of how cool it is so he doesn't shave it for the wedding this weekend.
In other news the other group from USC arrives today. Let's hope the strike doesn't affect them getting picked up at the airport. Stay tuned!
