Pakistan

Hello all,
We couldn't possibably have imagined the experiences that we are having in Pakistan. We have travelled to remote villages, small towns and the capital of Sindh province, Karachi and have been received like major ambassadors--big welcoming signs with our names and the particular disability organization, garlands of roses around our necks, showers of rose petals thrown on us as we enter the various establishments, large and small. We have both given speeches at every place, met with mayors and deputy mayors and other political officials. We have been given gifts (many ajraks placed around our necks--traditional Sindhi cotton block printed material). The people are incredibly warm, loving and friendly. We had no idea. We cannot send photos yet as we haven't managed to download them but we wanted to let you all know that we are well and are enjoying the extraordinary hospitality.
All our love,
Judy and Ross
