Panch: I made it to Pakistan!

If you know how to count in Hindi, you may be wondering why I skipped Post Chaar (# 4) & went directly to Panch (post # 5). It's not that I'm that bad at counting in Hindi (though, I think my spelling of it is pretty rotten), but rather that I do have a Post Chaar in the works detailing what I've been up to for the past 2 weeks, but I'm not prepared to post it until I have more time to write about my experiences in India.

To see photos of adventures in India, check them out here: For pics: https://webmailapp6.cc.utexas.edu/horde-2.2.9-assign/util/go.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fmaymesterindia08&Horde=36d90dcac7eca3ed843d618ccc163c74

This night I write about my latest news: mainly, the fact that I arrived in Pakistan a few hours ago, met Ammar and his lovely family who graciously welcomed me into their home, had a nice dinner, and am looking forward to more challenges & opportunities here. Tomorrow I'll get my things in order & get a sim card for my phone (I'll let you guys know when I have the #). The research, time spent with Ammar & others here, and exposure to a new place are going to be fantabulous!

Caty, I wanted to call to wish you a happy birthday, but don't have a working phone at the moment. Dad, happy early father's day, & hopefully I can give you a ring sometime soon as well. I love you all & hope you're having a swell summer.
