We have settled into a great rountine at our flat. Karen, Barb and I are getting along great and enjoying each other's company. We are exctied that we have a clothes washing machine and an iron availble in our flat. This makes life easier.
I have met several other Americans and made friends with a young German man. His English was excellent and he said he might come to the States to study for six months, as he is required to go to an English speaking country to complete his degree. This trip there seems to be many Italians, Germans and Americans. Last time there were more Spainards and British folks.
Yesterday, Barb and Karin delivered some supplies we had brought to a local orphanage. We had brought vitamins, bandaids, shampoo, lotion and other needed items. Barb said the children were beautiful and one of them sang Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star for them.
From our 10th floor flat I can see how truly big Pune is. The city stretches on in all directions and is much bigger than Portland!
In just the two years since my last visit many things have changed. There are far more cars on the road. Also, many more people are sporting western attire. Jeans and t-shirts are everywhere.
As to the yoga - every day we notice the absence of Geeta. She is not in her usual space in the practice hall and has not taught. Everyone misses her presence.

Namaste, Nina,
I am enjoying reading about your life in Pune and your observations of India. I especially enjoyed this post and the one where you saw the parrots and felt truly in India. I'm looking forward to some photos when you can post them and also seeing your clothing (how fun to choose fabrics and colors).
Be well,
Rachelle
