Now I know why …

… Indians take their shoes off before they enter their houses. The streets here are absolutely filthy. You don’t even wanna know …

20130730-050557.jpgWe ventured out three times on foot yesterday to run errands. The above picture captures a typical Pune street. Cars don’t stop for anything (I think I mentioned that yesterday). About a half a block farther, I watched a momma pig & her 2 babies cross this street. I would have taken a picture, but it would have required me to reach in my backpack, taking my eyes off the spectacle. After that I kept my phone in my hand so I wouldn’t miss any more photo opportunities.

20130730-051901.jpgWe move to the 9th floor of this apartment complex that’s right next door to the Institute Thursday, the day we begin classes at the Institute. Where we’re staying now is about 1/4 mile away.
