Hello all intended and concerned,
Just to let you kids know, two days ago there was a terrorist attack in India, and we just arrived there at this moment. So no we were not there during the attack and yes we are still here. We are not going near the town of Varanasi, me or anyone on the ship, and hopefully there won’t be anything else going on cause its ho enough here as it is. I am off to Bollywood, Mallalumpara, and then maybe a little fun on the last day. So I’ll see you all again in six days.

I feel kinda out of the loop because I haven't been around news sources lately. but, I'm glad you're alright, and hopefully you all will stay safe through the rest of the semester. Oh, and have fun in Bollywood! I was hoping you would be going there!
guess where catie is going abroad all year next year?
yup, Varanasi.
If the casting people get a look at you in Bollywood, you may get offered a role as an American expat who falls in love with a Brahmin princess whose parents disapprove of you, and burst into song as they forbid you to marry their daughter, even though you turn Hindu and take the path of non-violence. To prove that you are sincere, you visit an orphanage to donate all of your personal possessions, suddenly bursting into song and dancing with the little children. You discover that one of the children is actually the only son of the princess' parents who had been kidnapped from his crib by Pakistani terrorists. You take the boy to a reunion with his family and suddenly burst into song and dance with the entire city as there is now an heir to prevent anarchy from taking over should the father be assassinated by Pakistani terrorists. You and the princess have a big wedding where everyone suddenly bursts into song and dance. You go on a honeymoon in Varanasi where you foil the Pakastani terrorist plot to blow up the main Hindu temple,and as you are disarming the bomb, you suddenly burst into song and dance with the security people, then you finish disarming the bomb and help arrest the terrorists. The semester at sea kids are released from their ship and can visit the village, and upon their arrival they burst into song and dance after which they hold a feast in your honor.....the end.
Until we meet in the 'Nam, keep having fun and don't step in any cobra holes.
