Sometime between my last post and now, I came back to America. I also wore a saree, and I looked damn fine. A few days later, I was back in Somerville to see my friends graduate from Tufts University. We all went out to celebrate not long afterwards. Guess which picture was taken in India and which one was taken in Massachusetts.
I've had some time to adjust to being back, and it's been wonderful. I don't care if I sound like a brat. I love having access to hot showers at any moment in the day and being able to drink the tap water whenever I want. I miss some things, but I've been missing the people on my program more than the place itself.
My wandering's not over, though. I'm headed on a road trip through the South this summer. There's few things that are more antithetical to India than the American South, and I'm so excited. Through Virginia and Tennessee to Oklahoma and then back through Arkansas for a music festival all the way up to Ohio to visit the boyfriend's parents and then back to Somerville.
Get ready to read a lot of blog posts about electronic music and pulled pork. You're welcome in advance.
