American Summer

The kids' school closes for the heat of the Summer in the months of May and June each year. For the past two summers we have taken advantage of this fact and headed home to visit Grandparents, family and friends. We miss out on some of India's intense summer heat and get to see a bit of the American road...

This year our travels took us to the mountains of North Georgia, the Native American "Mounds" of central Alabama, the hills of Austin, Texas. We then traveled northeast through the plains of the midwest and up to the cool breezes of Buffalo-Niagara and back down to Georgia again - over 4,000 miles in a Jeep.

We return to India with memories of good food, beautiful, green countryside, and lively conversations. With smiles on our faces, we look forward to our final year in India which brings with it some big changes... We'll be moving into New Delhi after living a year and a half in Noida; the kids will attend a new school; and of course there will always be our on-going and often unpredictable adventures from living.... or rather, "swimming" in India....
