Hello from Tarzan baby!

We had to put this one up for the Aldrich's after they got us the Tarzan-baby NobleBunz diaper for Kai's baby shower! Thanks, it fits great!!
Us at the Sangam (convergence of the rivers)
One method of transportation, the one I usually use if it's only me going somewhere like grocery shopping or the internet cafe. We'll try to get a picture of the rickshaws soon - our usual method of transport, a rickshaw is a 3-wheeled bike that pulls a cart that we sit in. The picture will explain it better. The bike's actually faster, but that's because I'm only pulling my own weight, not that of 2.5 others. :)
One more cultural note...

We've mentioned that the bathrooms here have one of two options, but it's easier to show this in pictures. One option is the "Western-style" toilet (which we have at our place). The other is this, the "Indian-style" toilet, still porcelin, not just a hole, but as seen above. Note the grooved footrests on either side for ease in, well, I'll stop there. The trains actually have 2 options too...there really is one stall labeled "Western Style," and one labeled "Indian Style."

Tune in soon for the next edition of Micaiah's Travel blog, which may feature such exciting shots as a rickshaw ride, or naptime, or whatever other adventure is in for him tomorrow! Good night!
