Sorry that I have been absent for the first month, but the program keeps us very busy here. The only reason I have time now is because Saturday night I became violently ill (I'll describe more later) and am still recovering, hence I have had to stay behind in Delhi instead of going on a week-long excursion to Madhya Pradesh with the rest of the program. For those who do not know, Madhya Pradesh is one of 28 states of India, and we were specifically going to a village called Orchha from Tuesday to Wednesday, Khajuraho from Wednesday to Friday and the Bandhavgarh Tiger Sanctuary from Friday to Sunday. I am really disappointed that I am not going to Orchha because the Betwa River runs through it where locals (slash Kenzie) swim in everyday and MORE DISAPPOINTED THAT I AM NOT GOING TO KHAJURAHO BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE EROTIC TANTRIC CARVINGS ARE AND STORM-JI (Dr. Mary Storm, the academic director and our main professor) IS GIVING A LECTURE ON TANTRISM!
Guy-ji (Storm-ji's husband and our health/medical advisor) said that there is a small change that I might be able to join up with the rest of the program if I get better soon and train tickets can be arranged with this short of notice. So here's hoping.
