Goodbye USA, Namaste India!

Well I am off!!! Thursday, July 19th I embark on one of the greatest journeys of my young life. I am leaving for a science teaching gig in the amazing India subcontinent. I have wanted to visit India since I was a young boy reading (O.k. looking at the pictures) of that National Geographic article that describes the wonders of India in a way that only National Geographic can. If you were to ask me what emotions I am feeling right now, I would have to say that I am mostly sentimental and a bit sad to be leaving all of the wonderful people who have touched my life over the years. I have so many amazing friends and family (you know who you are) that I can't even begin to tell you how their friendships , love, and guidance have made me a better person throughout the years. I love each and everyone of you, thanks for being there.
My next posting on this blog will be from my new home of Mussoorie, India. Mussoorie is located in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains of north-central India. One of the things that attracted me to this teaching position was the amazing natural setting of Mussoorie and the school. I can only imagine what natural beauty waits to greet me in this new home of mine. I promise many photos of said beauty will follow.
Again, thank you to everyone who has help me realize this wonderful opportunity. I can't wait for the day when we can see each other again.
