This is a video of one of my rides in an auto, which is our form of taxi here. The price starts at 14 Rupees, which is about $.30... the most expensive ride I've taken was way across town and that was a little over $2.00!! It's so cheap!! But open air, with all the exhaust leaves me feeling pretty dirty once I get back home... not to mention when I blow my nose it's all black... gross I know!! Anyway this video was filmed on my way to Commercial Street, a fun open market area where I'll frequent almost every weekend, if money allows! haha It's a small street, all the streets aren't like this, and it's in a market type area... but notice all the other autos and 2-wheelers. Oh and the bumpiness and camera moving all around... that's all natural of how the body moves whilst riding in one of these fun "vehicles" =)

The joy of living overseas! Laura, so glad things are going well and you are getting adjusted. Jayme and I have gotten readjusted to life back in the States. We had a little girl, Landrum, 3 weeks ago and mom and baby are great. Look forward to hearing more about your journeys. Have fun. Jared
