  Greetings to all of you half way around the world.
 Things are going very well here as we are preparing
 to move to Madurai this weekend.  The trip is flying
  by and every day is a learning experience of some
 sort or another.  We have learned a great deal about
 the religions and our geography was a great
 experience.  We took a trip to a wildlife preserve and although it was not quite what we expected it was still fun.
