Hey Rachel. Happy birthday! You never let me know how you liked Africa. Or France. Send me an email or something. India is pretty great. If you want to visit the subcontinent feel free to come by any time this year. I can put you up for free; there is a third bedroom in my apartment, and a pool. Food and transportation are really cheap here (at least for Americans), so the only major cost is a round trip airplane. Anyway, just let me know. Happy birthday.
OK. I'm in India now. India is pretty good. They've got a lot of English here. I like that. And a lot of really goo Indian food. Too much in fact. I ate it 3 times a day for 2 weeks and got really fat. Now I am sick of Indian food, but I don't know what else to eat. Taco Bell?
I hope Africa is a good second prize. I'll tell you what India is like, since I'll soon be an expert of living in India. Remeber back in tenth grade when your mom wouldn't let you use IM. What was that all about? You never told me.
