Hello friends and family! (sounds like a MCI commercial)

The monsoon is here! How refreshing. Love the rain, hate the mosquitoes that come with it. We are well armed with our “plug in the wall” magic mosquito repellant devices in each bedroom and Claire has a mosquito net over her crib.

Ok…we found a restaurant last night for dinner that serves the best beef ever! Ok, maybe it’s not the best beef, but boy was it tasty to us! It’s a place called Fusion 9. Definitely the most expensive place so far, but the 3 of us had drinks, ate nice dinners with 2 appetizers for $35. Not too bad. Definitely would have been more expensive at home, but to give you a comparison, we have been eating out at Indian restaurants (fabulous meals) for about $5 a piece. What a life!

We have an exciting weekend ahead of us.
Friday night we are going to Subir’s house (one of the sales guys here) for dinner and general libations. He is a Sikh so we are sure to have some good meatJ There will be lots of other kids there, so Claire should have a good time. We will be sure to take the camera.
Saturday our college professor friend, Aishwini and his wife Uma may bring their daughters to our apartment for a swim. We are also planning on checking out some bookstores and one of our co-workers (Anupama) may come over to teach me how to make Gulab Jammuns (our favorite desert here).
Sunday several help desk team members and some guys from the marketing team are going to teach us how to play cricket (well, they are teaching Clay and I am tagging along.)

New Claire stuff:
Q: What does a cow say?
A: Moo
Q: What does a sheep say?
A: Baa
Q: What does a horse say?
A: Horse (I really did mean to type horse here)
Pure geniusJ

Oh yeah…she also bit into my deodorant this morningJ
