A personal journal of my first journeys to Damanhur & Auroville.

Sunday, October 26, 2003

Well, it's now Noon, on Monday, 27 Oct., 03, and I'm in Auroville! It's taken me awhile to adjust to being here in India for the first time since 1963, so I haven't been keeping up with this journal. It's also taken me awhile to find a wideband connection here in Auroville where I can login using my own computer (a Mac G4 12" laptop). But yesterday I discovered that the Internet Cafe located next to the Auroville Solar Cafe (on the rooftop terrace of the Solar Kitchen) has an upstairs room where I can plug my Mac directly into the Net via an ethernet cable. They've even given me my own IP number. And the cost is just 60 Rs. per hour (exchange rate is about 48 Rs. to $1.00 USD), or about $1.25/hr., which I can pay for with my Auroville "Pour Tous" Guest Account! So that's where I am now. I'll post a few brief comments for the last couple of weeks to bring us up to present time, and then continue from there.
