Awake Bright and Early, December 6, 2011

Last night, when Santos got home from work about 11PM, we visited for
a short while and I updated him on my first day doings.  He asked about
whether I'd been able to fend off the mosquitoes and, showing him my arms,
I bragged that I had no bites at all.  Much to my surprise, my left arm was
covered with red whelts- I counted at least a dozen.  There were none on my
right arm!  I hope my doxycycline is doing the job of protecting me from malaria!

This morning, I was awakened by the family dog, Skip, throwing himself against
the front door, demanding entry.  He is the cutest thing...not as cute as my
granddogs but I do enjoy his cheery disposition and all his energy.

Lorna tells me there are hundreds of birds out in the morning so, along with my
fragrant cup of chai, I've figured out the new camera and I'm ready for pictures.
Sadly, the internet here is unbelievably slow.  I tried to play Zuma on Facebook
last night and I won't be in the top three of my group while I'm in India, that's
for sure, unless I can get a faster wi-fi connection for my own computer.

Adios....
