True to form, this seems to be when blogging goes bad for me. I go strong for a week and then fall off the bandwagon! It seems to also be correlated with when work gets busy...safe to say, "busy season" is upon us in the audit world! I'm determined to climb back on the wagon and it starts by catching you up. Looks like my last post ended us on Saturday so let's move onto Sunday.
Sunday...it turns out that the English speaking protestant churches are some distance away from where we're living. Plenty of Mosques and Temples around though, as one would expect in India. We haven't ventured out yet too far beyond our immediate surroundings; the mall and Deloitte has been the extend of our travels to date...oh and the FRRO. I was saying to someone the other day that we haven't been too adventurous yet but then they reminded me that we just moved ourselves to India for 10 weeks...touché!
We're also trying to ease Isabel into things gently; the world is very different place in India than she's used to. She's just starting to look a little more at ease when we're out in the car. The noise of all the horns and having everyone and everything in such close proximity is intimidating for anyone, let alone a 3 year-old. She also gets a lot of attention when we're out and people feel very free to reach out and touch children here when they see them, especially foreign children. So far, no one has taken her picture, but I'm told by my expat colleagues who have children that we've only not experienced that because we haven't ventured out too much but that it will come. For all those reason, we're not running out the door exploring the city every time we have a free moment. I suppose on top of that, we have a 7 month old...correction...just realized Judsen turned 8 months two days ago...don't judge, read on. As I was saying, we have Judsen who still naps twice a day, has his bottles and eats baby food, so all-in-all, taking road trips in India is a bit daunting at this point.
Well that was a long-winded way of getting to my point; we had church in our hotel room on Sunday.
