Let's Meet the India Posse



Hello Everyone,
Before I start, I just wanted to introduce you to the ladies I am traveling with. We will be sharing this blog together and we will each make updates periodically.
Let’s meet the team! Becky – also a recent LBJ graduate, also on her first trip to Asia, 100-rupee snatcher, group motivator and excellent kebab fetcher.
Sherry – excited Houstonian on her first trip to India, afraid of the hot and spicy food and non-cold water. She’s our team spirit captain. Krys – recent LBJ graduate, on her way to law school, who enjoys amateur photography and calculating the US Dollar- Indian Rupee rate on her Eagle Creek calculator, apparently a common terrorist accessory in India. Hilary – aka Chileryji, is the in house semi-translator and cultural guide, queen of the cycle-rickshaws, but don’t try to overcharge her or you’ll get the neckwork and pointer finger in your face. Mari – future top-model and calmest first-time world traveler ever, closet carpenter and electrician par excellence, but also in your face when getting ripped off.
INDIA FACT ----- 1 U.S. Dollar = 40 Indian Rupees
