Chennai

I haven't been able to get on the internet for a few days -- the local internet cafe in Guntur has been telling me "sir, no enternit, it go away, you come back tomorrow". So I've been blogging to a file and will post them all now.

A few hours ago we finished a problem-free ride from Guntur to Chennai. A BFLC seminary student named Rajesh is along to make sure we don't step in front of a bus, and all three of us were able to sleep most of the night on the very quiet second-class sleeper car.

Chennai is noisy, crowded, and a little hotter than Guntur. After we found our accomodations and had breakfast, Rajesh and I headed out to an internet cafe while Dad is taking a break back at the room.

St. Thomas Mount is a lone hill overlooking the city, and from our hostel about half way up the hill we can see for miles through the morning maritime (or tropical?) mist blanketing the city. If I could ever get my brother in law Tom to India, this may be a site he'd be interested in.

The All Saints group arrives tonight, and I will be meeting up with Aaron sometime this evening.
