Welcome to India!

We made it!!!

After meeting up with Faythe and Lara at the Newark airport, we boarded the plane and headed on a 14 hour journey across the world. It's crazy to think that I am standing (well, sitting) in India RIGHT NOW! The flight was uneventful, but I watched Slumdog Millionaire for the first time. After landing, navigating the airport was easy, and we met up with our ride within a few minutes of going outside.

Off the plane and about to go through immigration.

The drive to the hotel was probably my favorite part of the day. Our driver's motto was "good horn, good breaks, and good luck." When Faythe asked if the road lines are just suggestions, he laughed, but I can attest to the fact that they are. We got to talking with him about traffic fines. He said that the fine for running a red light is about $5, but that the police are "no problem." The fine for talking on your cell phone in the US, he said, is the same as one month's rent and food for his house.

It's late here, and we have an early morning tomorrow to head to Agra to see the Taj Mahal, so I'll end here. But I wanted you all to know that we've made it here safely and are having a wonderful time so far!
