It appears that we only do leisure, tourist activities here in India based on my posts the past few months. I promise we DO work here!
In November, we went to Delhi and had some meetings. Priya had an appointment with Mani, a speech therapist/audiologist and we ran the Delhi half marathon. Our friends Dave and Cindy graciously offered to watch the kids while we ran. The race was a blast. It was pretty disorganized at points and involved lots of waiting, pushing and shoving, but for the most part it reminded us a lot of a race in the States with chip timing and all. We are thankful to be able to preserve the things that we love to do and find ways to do them here. It seems like running is something that is catching on in the big cities. The course went by some Delhi landmarks and was flat compared to the crazy climbs we have to do on a long run in Mussoorie. We finished together. I won't disclose who actually crossed the finish line first.
Thanksgiving was different and new for us. It was pretty much the first times we had to help cook food rather than enjoy our mothers cooking. Let me just say I have a greater appreciation for canned pumpkin.

0600 Delhi arrival after overnight train.
Race expo poster child.
Graham's commentary on our battle to the finish.
I am going to miss Deb and Katie(eMi interns/morning running partners).
That is a chicken, not a turkey!
Post meal lethargy.
Still wondering if pumpkin pie from scratch is worth the hassle?
