Delhi Day 2

Day 2 was organized for us. We were to travel to an orientation at the USEFI house. USEFI is our Fulbright sponsor here in India. The USEFI house is in an awesome location near embassy row. We had a full-day orientation with speakers on Indian education, medicine, and from the US embassy. Following the orientation, the girls headed to shop at the "mall," specifically FabIndia, a store full of amazing Indian gear and way cool home items. After we loaded up on brightly colored tunics and such (great prices fyi!), we headed back to the hotel to get ready for dinner. USEFI hosted a wonderful going away dinner for all the American exchange teachers, us and a group that had been there for five weeks over the summer. The food was fabulous and of course, more Kingfisher beers. Following dinner, we all headed back to pack. Early Thursday morning, we were all leaving for our destination cities with the excpetion of Breanna and Jeff, who will remain in Delhi for their exchange. It is hard saying goodbye. We have all counted on each other for the past week both in DC and in Delhi, but we are all ready to get settled and "get this started!" Best of luck fellow Fulbrighters! See you on our travels!
