We got here very late and this morning, got up to find the house full of immediate and extended family….and it feels good to catch up with everyone again….some of my relatives I am meeting again after long years!

And to remove any doubt that we are in contact with the world…here’s the array of laptops on the counter of the open kitchen!

Laptop manufacturers ought to give our family volume discounts….

The bharata nAtyam performance is later today (it’s about 1pm now, and the performance starts at 4pm I think)…will post about it later.

Meanwhile, photos-from-the-air, of a lovely sunset and landmarks of St.Louis, are
