Running low on time, so you'll excuse the lack of finesse.

I had a couple of transportation adventures today: First there was
the semi-scandalous ride on the back of a motorcycle. I was supposed
to be a lady and go side-saddle, but there's no way I was about to put
my life in any more danger than it already was in, weaving through
traffic, etc. Don't worry mom -- Raphael needed a workout anyway,
right? Then later in the day we took a rickshaw ride home (think big
bicycle with a tall cart behind, that is too short to sit up straight
in....)

Also, I had my first table lesson this morning! Crazy.
But now my group is ready to go.
Love you all, will keep sending word as I'm able. Love getting notes from you.
