Delhi Delight

So, I know I promised to update everyone on our trip to Kanyakumari, but I'm afraid I've fallen into the backlog catch 22: There was just so much to say that I haven't had the time to write it all down, and now more and more things keep piling up! So, rest assured that I will be filling in all the blanks, but it won't be until after the 23rd when I am back in Bangalore.

At the moment I am in Delhi. I arrived Thursday night for a conference of Deaf Women from around India, though most are from the North. I haven't seen much of the city so far but I did make it to a Delhi Pizza Hut with two new American friends, Michele and Jamie, who are spending 5 months traveling around India, starting with the conference. I also went shopping with Michele and Vivien, a woman from Denmark. The conference itself has been fun, though not particularly well organized - in fact, I feel that I am getting to understand Indian organization (or the lack thereof) a lot better as I take part in more events and meetings here. I was supposed to give a drama workshop, though given the uncertainty surrounding the whole program I did not have much time to prepare. However, I think the women had fun participating in a few different drama exercises and I hope they will continue to pursue acting, as some of them are quite naturally good at it!

Anyway, Gilles and his parents are arriving tonight and we will be traveling to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and then onto Rajastahn. I'm sure I will have plenty of new photos and things to report, so I will be back to blogging soon!
