Unfortunetly, I did get a migraine a few days ago. It lingered for a while but is finally gone. Today, however, I am suffereing from the flu and have not been able to eat anything. Tomorrow we are supposed to go to a wedding of one of the faculty members here at the seminary. It is being held in the tea plantations about 4 hours from here. If I am still sick, I won't be able to attend. Kim and I were excited about seeing the plantations and wearing our new Churridas, which is the Indian pant and long shirt dress that they wear here. They are actually quite hot and uncomfortable. I like my clothes better. I thought it might be interesting to briefly list all the things I have noticed we take advantage of in America, and a lot of stuff I miss! Here is goes...
- hot water/showers
- air conditioning
- cleaning supplies
- any food that is not rice
- washer and dryer
- purified water
- easy travel across the country (i.e. we don't get stopped by the police and asked for our passport)
- hospital within 5 minutes distance
- the right to chose our own husband and wife
- supermarkets or a mall in general
- cleanly standards of food and household
- no loud cows or roosters
- Coca Cola (there is no diet coke here either)
- Beef in general
- Chocolate and items that melt in daily India climate
- the ability to wear make-up without it sliding off your face in 30 minutes
- Hair that is not frizzy due to humidity

That's all I can think of right now, but some of those are funny and very true!
