We're off!

Everything is packed and ready to go, and we are trying to find some time to create a blog for this trip, so we can keep you all posted. We are very excited to be going back to India, in a sense we haven't really left it since we came back last August... we have Indian food everyday, eat with our right hand, and wear lunghis around the house (but not in polite company any more). We are hoping to share our trip with you with photos, recipes and horror stories about poor hygiene and the perils of eating street food.

Our cat, on the other hand, is NOT looking forward to us going away for so long, and has been using all the tricks in the book in order to try and make us stay. He was pretending to be sick after getting his vaccinations yesterday, and was looking particularly miserable when we gave him the flea treatment this morning.
To top it all off, there is this little three year-old kid called Ella who will be staying in our apartment with her mother. We think she is very sweet, but Josquin, who met her a couple of weeks ago, was not really impressed with her. Many were the tears when she found out that little fluffy kittens may bite...
Today when we were frantically packing he was going around, nervously sniffing everything, mostly our backpacks. He was trying to get packed into one, but we told him that he is not going to like it in India: it's noisy, full of strange sounds and smells, and nobody eats tuna fish there.

We have to wrap it up for today (the fridge still has to be cleaned), but we are hoping to have more of this blog coming throughout the coming two months, and to inform you all about our (mis)adventures.
