back in India

So I'm back in India after a little over a week in the States. Why didn't I say where I was going? Well, after scheduling the trip (it was to renew my visa - yes, India is so messed up that it is easier to fly back home to renew my visa than to do it here) I discovered that my brother Dan would be arriving at my parents on May 23rd for a day so I pushed my return back to May 24th and decided to surprise them (he and his daughters). I'm thrilled to say that I actually managed to pull off the surprise!
Anyway. Will blog more on my thoughts about there and here now that I've been back but I have gobs of work to catch up on and it is entirely possible that I will suddenly get super sleepy since I'm a few time zones off.
My only thought for today is...I already miss the good coffee. I brought back a pound of the good stuff and think I'll have to make my own every day rather than going to the coffee shop because this just isn't very yummy.
