India in 2 days! I´ll be leaving a whopping 18ºC here in Victoria and arriving in a mild 45ºC in Delhi...

Well India tomorrow now!
I´m in the Seattle airport, waiting for my flight to Newark. Then I fly out at 8pm to arrive at around 8pm in New Delhi.
I have arranged for an airport pickup which will be very nice considering I will be tired and it was offered...and since I got a room without AC I figured I could splurge on the luxury of pickup!
I think I will be in Delhi for the weekend, and on Monday I will try to make it up to Dehradun, where the Navdanya Earth University and farm is. I will miss the Mango Festival that they are celebrating at the farm this weekend, but I hope to taste something of it in Delhi.
Then around the 20th I´ll head back to Delhi and look into securing a place to live with a couple other interns who should be arriving shortly if they haven´t already.
That´ll give me a good amount of time to understand what exactly they do at the farm, meet the other volunteers working there, and also hopefully it will be a good place to relax and work on my Master´s paper that needs to be done this month.
