Whew, long trip but great. Uneventful except for the duration (17 hours in the air). Sathi instructed Nathan to meet Amy and I at the airport in Chennai with a gift of beads, water, and 800 rupees just so we could tip the help. Yay Sathi, thanks so much. You are the man!
A special note of interest, driving in Chennai is not that different than in DC; the traffic laws are really just suggestions. The big difference I saw tonight is you don't use your turn signal to tell other people where you're going, you honk the horn, loudly and repeatedly, whether you are running a red light (or several red lights) or moving into their lane. It was great!
Tomorrow Sathi, me, and David McAlester-Wilson (others may come also but not sure right now) are off to a rural Dalit community with Bishop Deva to participate in consecrating a church and speak to a host of lay ministers. Well, it's 2:00 am and we start early tomorrow so I'm going to bed.
Blessings,
Perry
