Welcome to my very first blog! I'm just about to go off on a month and a half journey down south (Southern India that is). I've just spent the last 6 months living and volunteering in the hustle-bustle of Pune, India at Sangam World Centre, a Girl Guide and Girl Scout World Centre. And now I'm ready to adventure further!!!!

Looking for Pi (and crepes) in Pondicherry

We've made it out of Chennai now and are relaxing in the relative peace of Pondicherry...looking over the at the Bay of Bengal thinking about the tsunami, and the book "Life of Pi". So far we've slept in, did laundry, found 2 internet cafes and eaten and walked about. Last night on walking on the breakwater was pretty cool...they block off the streets on the weekends for people to go walking and have cultural displays like traditional dance set up along the way. Pretty nice.

Lots of French people still living here...it only became part of India officially in the 1950's...but don't expect it to be France. Had fries the other day...but still in search of the elusive crepes that I've heard you can get here. But, I think we'll chill here another day before we brave India's transportation system again...
