Above – This woman works at Dimpex hand designing batiked t-shirts. This is where I took my t-shirts to be batiked with my custom logo on the back. 

Here are photos I took while out on a rickshaw ride with Nana. They pretty much speak for themselves so I’ll keep quiet except to say the weather here has been mostly overcast with some rain but warm and humid. The cloud cover keeps the shadows down and makes for great photos.

About the rickshaw … I realize some people call these tuck tucks, but here in Pune they’re called rickshaws (short for auto rickshaw).

This sweet girl came running up to me when I returned back to the apartment building to say hi. She was very happy when I asked if I could take her photo.

Hey Bruce, this Mercedes was parked in our driveway. I’ve seen quite a few Mercedes around town.

The wifi in our flat is working again and so is the phone. I now have a dongle so I’ll have a back up. 4GB for 1,700 rupees +200 rental (that’s $30.40 US dollars). I figure with 24 days remaining, that comes to $1.27 per day. My cell phone is locked and it wouldn’t take the SIM but the dongle is just as good for my purpose.

Special note to Mom (& anyone else who doesn’t know what a dongle is) – A dongle is a small device that serves as a hot spot that allows me to access emails and internet on my phone and computer. It’s this little device that will help to keep my blog up and running. My phone and computer connect to it just like your computer links to the wifi at your house. Now when the wifi in the flat is poor to none, I have this little device as a back up.

Even when the wifi is up and running, the access in my bedroom is very poor so the dongle will come in handy when I want to get online in my room.
