I still don't have my camera, but I am assured it will be through customs clearance soon. I guess I should have learned a little more about bribing public officials before I got here! I'll update more later about my India travels (and I have gotten out a little more lately), but I wanted to take this chance to welcome my brand new cousin to the world! Carter Pierson Norton was born at 4:03 pm on Thursday weighing in at 7lbs. I haven't seen pictures yet, but I am sure he is the most handsome baby boy ever born!
Carter, I'm sorry I won't get to meet you until you are already a month old, but I know that you will have plenty of attention from your parents, grandparents, great grandparents and aunts and uncles until I get there! I know you will have a wonderful life, and with such a distinguished name I am sure you will someday be President! Not that I want to pressure you too much on that... you have 35 years before you are even eligible to run... take your time and enjoy eating, sleeping, and getting your diaper changed in the meantime!
Yesterday I took my first ride in an autorickshaw to a restaurant with authentic Northern Indian food. There was pretty much nothing there I could eat, the waiter said they didn't have anything that wasn't exteremely spicy! But it was fun to watch everyone eat rice with gravy and spicy chicken stuff with their hands off of big banana leaves for plates. I ate a bowl of curd rice, and a couple bites of what was supposed to be the least spicy chicken there. It was more the experience that mattered... This weekend I should get out and about a little more so hopefully I'll have more to tell and maybe I'll finally be able to post pictures!
Just as a side note, on the way to work I saw a group of cows on the side of the road. One was apparently actually a bull as I saw it try to molest another cow as we were driving away. I'm guessing the circle of life is continuing even on the streets of Bangalore!
