Yay! After travelling for almost 24 hours in real time and about 12 hours in virtual time, I am now in Lexington, sitting next to Maya as she plays with magnetic stones!
The flight to Milan was uneventful except for some stunningly bad food. Milan airport itself was nice, but not very interesting. The flight to Boston was more fun. Sat next to a Justice of Peace for the entire duration and got thoroughly entertained! She was amazed I spoke English and asked me whether I was having an arranged marriage! :) Americans!
Anyway, got off at Boston, breezed through immigration, baggage, and customs and was welcomed at the airport by Rohan, Maya, and Bink Mamu. Rohan even made me a poster informing me that I was now in the United States! When we got home, I found another poster, this time made by Maya, with yellow chicks on it! Fun!
Had lunch, and a long bath. Tea was interesting with some serious political conversation over awesome blueberry bread (I'm SO not going to lose weight!) with mamu, mami, and a couple of their friends from Iran. And now am writing up the blog as Maya reads over my shoulder and dinner is getting cooked in the background.
Am missing the warmth back home, but Boston looks like a really nice city. And on Tuesday we go to the Zoo!! To see hippopotami and giraffes! Yay! Also tomorrow morning, Monday, we're off to watch a re-enactment of the beginning of the American War of Independence on the Boston Green. The whole Paul Revere things with actual shooting and stuff! At 5.30! Am not too sure if I'll make it! fingers crossed!
Am little upset that no one has written me yet!! Write me people!! Or I won't write you! :p
Hope all is well with everybody!

As per International Communication Rules you are supposed to write first...informing us that you have reached the US of A without causing any harm to general public. Zero knowledge I tell you!!

Why is he called Bink?
We've tried to guess. Herre are some of our explanations:
1. Someone did not know the correct spelling of blink.
2. The person meant bunk.
3. Did the person think your mamu wore blinkers?
What was the REAL origin? Pray do enlighten us.
