Happy Diwali!

Today is Diwali, which as far as I can tell is the celebration of light, or the celebration of good over evil, and is the Hindu equivalent to Christmas. As you know, I don't know much about anything here, but it didn't take me long to figure out the Diwali is celebrated with pyrotechnics. After going to sleep to the sound of firecrackers last night I awoke to the same sound this morning sometime around 6. But I'm not complaining because it was great to sit on the roof last night and watch the sky light up in every direction. We even lit up a few rockets of our own.
So happy Diwali to you! We're off to the beach, I'll see you in a week.
