Holy Cows!

We landed in Nagpur and our excitement was building by the second. We were greeted by two gentlemen from the hospital and a bulky red SUV that served us well on our four hour drive to Kothara. The drive was an amazing one. The city of Nagpur is also known as the city of oranges. The whole drive was lanscaped by orange groves here and there. About halfway here we started seeing mountians that remind us more of northwest AR than the rockies but still a lovely backdrop to the fields of wheat, cotton and of course oranges. While we had heard about how animals tend to have the right of way here in India and we saw a few on our drive to the Taj, we were amazed at how many cows just stand in the road and don't move an inch for the traffic!!! The whole drive we kept seeing small heards of cattle with ir without their "shepherds". At times, we had to stop and let the cows, sheep, and whatever else decided to dominate the road have their way. Well, that was our journey here. We are nice and settled in our house right next door to the doctors who are the directors of the hospital. In fact, I am in their house using their computer for this post:)
