Jessi's report

The money is paper, same as in America, and about the same size.  The picture on the money has a picture of Mahatma Gandhi on one side, and a picture of the Himalayas on the other.  There is a bunch of Indian writing on it. I get about 320 Rs for my allowance. They have lots tunes (music). Our hotel is very nice. The girls have to cover there shoulders (dress custom.  We're going out to our new house today, and we went to the FRO office yesterday to get our residency permit.  There were fruit bats in the tree over our head.  For clothing, most women wear saris, and most men wear pants and shirts.  Most people wear sandals.  We have not seen any tigers as they're mostly in national parks.  We have not seen any elephants, but we haven't been out in the country yet.  We'll try to take more pictures today to send.  The pizza is good, but not the same as America.
