Keep Going

Hello everyone,

Life is going well here.  I have been getting more involved with my internship.  Today we got into some of the accounting files to better understand how they operate in India.  On Wednesday, we will hopefully be touring the factory and seeing how the products that we have been eating have been made.  We are almost done eating all of the food.  If you haven't already please fill out my survey on facebook so that I can get a better idea of what to market in America.  Any questions about my internship??

Palkhi this weekend was fun to witness.  It is a procession of 2 to 5 lakhs of people. (a lakh is 100,000).  People walk from their villages and towns to 3 cities in Maharashtra to visit the temples in these cities.  Talk about some dedication.  They walk because for the women they get a time to be free of their normal duties as wife and farmer.  They are very happy when they parade through the town.  They dance and play their bells.  It was fun to witness from a second story building.

This coming weekend I am going to Agra and New Delhi to see the Taj and I hope everything will work out.  A group of us are going and we have hired a travel agency to help us get there and stay at hotels and help us communicate.  Its going to be fun.  One lady told me that I was a fool for not traveling around by myself afterwards, but I think its best I just stick to our schedule. They have a lot for us to do.
