The rains began early a few weeks ago and the temperature dropped down to the low 70s in the mornings. Still sticky and humid, but cooler and cloudy. It got hot again and today the rains returned. It's still too early for the actual monsoon season, however. It's quite nice having a little more of a breeze and relief from the sun. The streets of Chennai flood rather quickly, however, so it's a little messy. With the door to door service that we have it doesn't inconvenience us too much, but for those who are still trying to buy a car and the locals, it's pretty wet out there, like knee deep in places.
John is the new pancake maker. This one is a banana special. We haven't found real maple syrup, but the cheap stuff is tasting mighty fine.
I want to tell story of our neighbors and our apartments, but it will have to wait for another day. It already late, but here are the kids from (l-r) Japan, Korea, France, Japan, Sweden, and Japan. I got another new girl this week, another Japanese student who doesn't speak a word. Already these kids are speaking and having fun with the language, but little Kotori will catch up in no time.
