Good morning…or night whatever time it is where you are!Last Wednesday (26 Nov) me and my family went on a long trip and this is how it went: First we got on a really crowded bus with Satish’s friend but I will tell you about him later. Me and daddy got to sit in the first row of the bus so we got a lot of space : ) Then we got off the bus and went to bank of India or as I like to call it the bank of boring. We went to the bank of boring because Satish’s friend (I’m not sure what his name is but if I did I would definitely spell his name wrong!) works there and he is going help us plan our day. While we were waiting at the bank me and Sloan played war with uno cards-it works!
So then we left the bank and went to get a rickshaw. The rickshaw we got had seats in the back so me and mommy sat there…it was comfortable! Then the rickshaw driver drove us to a mosque it was 500 years old or more! We got to stand on it. The stairs were really dark. It was basically a square shaped old building but much shorter and it didn’t have any doors it had pillars and like I said lots of dark stairs for the look out to watch over India…but not any more! Then at the top were two poles you know like on top of castles they always have a pole coming out of the top with lots of stairs in it so some one could look over the land. The mosque had those poles. Sloan wanted to go up to the top but daddy wouldn’t let him. Then we got back in the rickshaw and this time daddy and Sloan sat in the back.Then the rickshaw driver drove us up a mountain. On the mountain there were all different signs for different animals like elephants and jaguars and tigers but all we saw were monkeys-but there were no signs for monkeys! Then a car with a police man in it stopped us. He told us that rickshaws were not allowed to drive up the mountain because it wasn’t safe (but they let motorcycles drive up the mountain so I think that is weird). So the rickshaw drove us back down the mountain and we got into a jeep that would drive us up. We stayed at the bottom of the mountain for a pretty long time because daddy wanted a better price for the jeep. Finally we got in the jeep and drove up the mountain. We got out of the jeep when we got to the top of the mountain and got onto a tram. It was really cool, we even went through a canyon. Then we got off the tram and we were in this place about 6,000 feet up-but no matter where we are mommy doesn’t stop talking to people. But what was really annoying is the same question we get asked over and over again: where are you from? Every person we walk by either stares at us or asks us…the question! Next we went up what seemed to me 1,000
steps but it was really somewhere closer to 100 steps to see the temple at the top.Then we did the whole trip in reverse.

Hi Hailey & the rest of the Cherrys:
Last night was one of the most fun telephone conversations I think I have ever had! Your artistic touches to your Mom were the best. I liked her as the pirate, but the bubbles won first place! When you get home I must have you over so you can show me all the cool Skype tricks -I also think it was interesting that my computer just decided to call you w/out being prompted - how weird is that???
As always, I love reading the posts you and Sloan are writing. I teach college, and you both have much more creativity than my students who are mostly around your Mom and Dad's age.
So it sounds like the monkeys continue to amuse you, as I would be! I also love Monkeys, but I have never seen such long tails as the ones that live by you. To bad you can't bring a few home. That would get the neighbors talking!
Sounds like you and Mom have some great shopping planned for this week. Enjoy and keep us all posted.
You are my coffee break reading, and I love it! It's always a treat to see pictures and read what's happening in the exciting adventure of the Cherry's! Have fun!
Charna
