We have left the city of Chennai (Chin I) on the East Coast of South India where it was extremely hot and dry. We flew north to the town of Pune (Poona), in the state of Maharashtra. Pune is the second busiest IT center (Information Technology). When you call India for technical support you may be calling here. If you have been following the news you saw that Bangalore India (the busiest IT center) was hit with 8 bomb blasts yesterday. IT centers are being targeted because of their affiliation with the U.S. . Kinda scarey. Our sister group of teachers is presently staying in that city, they were uneffected by the event but a little shook up.
In Pune, the weather is much cooler, it has been raining and it is green! Notice the contrast in the landscape. Even though it is cloudy and sprinkling the monsoons haven’t hit yet. Everyone is getting anxious because they are late, many livelihoods depend on the rain. On Sunday we are heading to the mountains to escape the bustle of the city and do some hiking.
