Well, I have now been in India for over a week and I absolutely love it! Than Gaon was a small village in the Himalayan foots as they call it here. I got to work with Dr. Paul who does so much with so little. He hikes up to 5 hours away 2 times a week to treat patients in other villages and the other 3 days people walk from hours away to see him. All the treatment and medication they receive is free due to CFHI (the organization I am here with) providing everything. It was amazing meeting some of the village people and seeing how they live. We did a lot of hiking while we were up there and on Saturday we woke up at 5 to hike 5 1/2 hours to Musoorie at 7,000 ft - 2,500 ft higher than where we were. It was a great hike with great views.
Now I am back in Dehra Dun which is a really busy, hectic city. There is constantly noise from cars honking to cows mooing. It is way different than Than Gaon but it is exciting none the less. This week I will be working with an OBGYN and a pediatrician so I'm pretty excited. I'll try and put more pictures up later this week. I have also been invited to a wedding this weekend which will be interesting to see! I get to go shopping for a Sari to wear which will also be fun!
Let me know if you have any questions about my time here...so far it's been fantastic! No Delhi Belly!! :)

tamara I was imagining you in Bangalore! How nice to be in Mussoorie. My patrnes honeymooned for a month in Nainital and other places but we never visited again. Is that where your nephew will be residing or just the venue of the wedding? Either way, sounds wonderful. Does Shane look like a McMahon?Looking forward to pics, like everyone else!Carol McFarlane
