Dear Lauren, Candice and Jenny,

My name is Francis and my partner has been involved for some year in the Luz De Esperanza charity where you volunteered. I'm in the process of building a new website for them and stumbled across your blog whilst doing research for it. You have some great images from your time there and I was wondering if I might be able to use some of them on the new site? I'm also wondering if you might be able to send me some of the best at a higher resolution? I hope this finds you well, and congratulations on your global lap. I see this dates back to 2008. I wonder what you're all doing now?
Best wishes,
Francis

Ok...first of all, the name of Neha's second goldfish is Jasminder Singh.

Second, I applaud your successful journeys (the measure being no sustained injuries.

Third, I can't wait to see you guys

Fourth, the video of your Indian dance is on YouTube and now has 726 views. = D woo hoo!

LOVE YOU!

Dear Ladies!

I finally got the time to catch up with the blog - the last few weeks have been crazy, finally moved in and all settled. the apartment is really nice, decent size (not too small ny cramped style, so we got really lucky!) and we have a balcony with a view of the hudson! My job is ok, im not sure i want to say anything negative because its only the 2nd week, but it's pretttty interesting, (cough cough)..

On the bright side, i got 2 gold fish and the smaller one is named sunny and the other one is named (renee i already forgot).. woops!

But like evryone else, im so jealous of your travels, its sounds amazing, and i cannot stop laughing at the dance video!! So hilarious, but loved every bit of it! (sari's looked amazing on you guys - so now atleast you'll be prepared for mine! haha, JKKKK).

Sachin has also started working at beth I... i miss boston a lot, but NY is also fun! Haven't really been out so much yet, just taking it slow at the moment. I had my roedean friends visit me this week and last week, so it was tons of fun!

Miss you guys and cant wait to see ya'll!! XOXOX

Hey Jen:

Love the pix, love the commentary and best of all...love the fact you are having FUN! (We are all living vicariously through your experiences)

Only wish you could of visited us when we lived as ex-pats in Hong Kong, Thailand and Taiwan-it was the best!

Let's plan on doing this together one day--we're game!

Miss you and can't wait to hear all the 'other' stories :>)

love,

Aunt daisy
