Thanks Mom, for reporting to us about a small explosion outside the Bangalore Cricket Stadium, apparently reported on the news a few moments ago. If you happen to hear of this back in the US, rest assured that we are nowhere near the stadium or the big IPL (Indian Premier League) game. We saw some boys playing cricket down the street when we went out for our daily coconut, but that's as close as we'll get to any excitement today...
UPDATE: Oops, I guess we were close the night before. We'd gone to an architecture lecture in the heart of the city, and went to a restaurant afterwards. I think we walked right through the intersection where one of the (small, but who's counting?) bombs apparently went off today. Although I have to tell you, I am way way more nervous about surviving Indian road traffic than I am about the chances of being caught up in some incident.

Thanks for keeping us informed on your travels! Michael and I were just enjoying many of your posts on this Sunday morning. The sun is shining here in Seattle and even yesterday when it was raining all day, it was very evident that it is Spring!
ReplyDeleteAll is well here at Seville Court. Some folks moving out, others moving in, and some switching around. M and I are looking forward to having a little garden on the deck this year.
Hope that you continue to enjoy your travels, we have enjoyed hearing about them. Keep it comin!
xo Lynn and Michael
