YOGA FIRE
Had my first Yoga class today. I never knew I could be so exhausted after only about 15 minutes of stretching. The sound of 12 backs popping during one of the stretches was...something else.
Ventured out to the supermarket to pick up some supplies. I'm still adjusting to how much things cost here. I was about to get annoyed over an OUTRAGEOUS bill for 300 rupees until I remembered that it's equivalent to about six bucks. You can eat like a king here on a very shoestring budget. Ah, the wonders of Westerners visiting third-world countries.
On a side note, the supermarket is directly across Temple Avenue from a brand spanking new Pizza Hut. Next step: sampling Indian-made pizza.

Hey, Jake!
India sounds very interesting. I'm so happy you're having a good time. I'm leaving for school tomorrow morning, and I miss you! I'll comment something more, you know, appropriate to the content of your individual posts when my brain has returned to my head.
Love, Miranda
What a hoot! It has been fun reading your blog and vicariously enjoying your adventure. You do have a gift for writing and an insight to very human reactions. Keep it up and know you are being followed(in a good sense)by a hick from Nebraska.
Love,
Your God Mother
I didn't realize you were heading to South India, that's a totally different world from the India I'm used to.
A little entertainment advice, see the new Don if you get a chance and let me know what you think of it. Even if you don't know the language a good portion of it will be in English, and there will be a lot of action so it should be easy to follow.
Plus watching Shahrukh try to be an action star will be hilarious.
Also I hope you brought a camera along, because I'm curious to see what some of the places you're describing look like. Cool stuff!
Hey Jacob
Following your adventures from Israel !! Keep on posting - and don't forget your malaria pills!
