	<description>&#34;So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature, to make India the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked.” - Mark Twain</description>

		<title>Rotten to the Core</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shortly after I moved here, I discovered an interesting phenomenon.  I have concluded, after much observation, that things rot differently in India.  Food rots from the inside-out here.
On several occasions, I would buy perfect-looking potatoes from the little market, only to cut them open to find that the inside was completely brown.  The skin would [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting Nowhere Fast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The drivers here in Hyderabad are a peculiar sort.  As we&#8217;ve mentioned in the past, the driving is a nightmare.  There seems to be virtually no laws or rules, save for one:  Always keep going.
Don&#8217;t stop for people, they&#8217;ll jump out of the way.  Don&#8217;t swerve for dogs&#8230;they are nimble enough (except for those hobbling [...]]]></description>

		<title>Balloon Popping Nightmare</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is an interesting custom here in India that I am growing to really dislike.  It seems that every time there is a party of any sort, there are a plethora of balloons involved.  While I&#8217;m used to parties that have lots of decorations with balloons as an accent, here, balloons seem to be the [...]]]></description>

		<title>It never ceases to amaze me&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What I witnessed when I walked in Ender&#8217;s room stopped me in my tracks, then made me roll my eyes and run for the camera.  And while my reaction was a lot less severe than it would have been a couple of months ago, I still warned the kids not to go anywhere near Ender&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>La Cucaracha</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it is with great shame and embarrassment that I have to say that we seem to have a problem here.  For the past two nights,  our home has been invaded by a very unwanted pest.  The cats, who alerted us to the this problem, don&#8217;t understand why we cower and shriek while they have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coolest Thing Ever!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let me start by saying that this has absolutely nothing to do with India.
For those of you who don&#8217;t know, my son Ender is named after a very popular character in the world of Science Fiction.  The &#8220;Ender&#8217;s Game&#8221; series of books, by Orson Scott Card, is legendary.  I was first introduced to &#8220;Ender&#8217;s Game&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>10 Random Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1.  Ender&#8217;s bathroom is still not fixed.  The sink is lying in an ugly heap in the middle of the floor and Ender is having nightmares about monsters hiding in the crumbling brick walls.
2.  Addie&#8217;s room is painted.  It looks beautiful and jungly (is that a word?).  It has 2 brown walls and 1 green [...]]]></description>

		<title>It takes Two</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two months, that is, for a package to make its way from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Hyderabad- assuming it makes it at all.
Our friends, Heidi and Paul, were kind enough to send us this little care package containing 2 stuffed animals, some fruit snacks, some m&#38;m&#8217;s and various sundries.  Several packages have been sent to us [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fast Food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I was going through my pictures, I noticed that either Addie or Ender had taken the camera at some point while we were shopping at the little store near our house.  I&#8217;m not certain the reason that they snapped this photo, but I found it kind of funny.

Not exactly the images you are used [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flags of Many Nations (or at least 2 nations)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Addie brought a box of chalk back with her from the US.  The really big sticks of chalk, about 30 of them to a box.  I am sad to say that this chalk has already been used up and we are left with only a few little pieces that slip out of little fingers and [...]]]></description>
