I have arrived :)

So I am finally in India. We arrived to Dharward after three flights and a night stay in Bombay. Eva's family, who I will be staying with for the summer is wonderful! The house is very large, Eva and I will be sharing a room and have our own bathroom. They have a Great Dane at the house named Sparky... he is kind of the watch dog I guess. Her family had a party to welcome us last night at her aunt's mango farm. There were about 30 family members there and tons of Indian food. I am currently trying to figure out the internet situation so this post will be short... but I just wanted to let everyone know that we are here and safe. Today, we went to the hospital we will be working at this summer. The facilities were surprisingly nice and I am looking forward to learning a lot :) It is a private hospital with around 700 beds. We will be working there for 2 months and then traveling around the country the remainder of the time. On a side note... since arriving in Dharward, I have yet to see another white person :) I get a lot of strange looks and a group of children at the hospital all waved at me today. I'm not sure how large Dharward is... I have asked a few people and the responses have varied from more than 10,000 to about 2 million. I will investigate this one further.
