An Indian Super Bowl Party!

Hey all, this is Brett checking in. So today Jonathan and I woke up at 4:30am to host a Super Bowl party. All indications are that this was the only Super Bowl party in India outside of the American Embassy. The game started at about 5am and we had a total of 7 in attendance. (Merritt chose sleep over football...surprise, surprise!) We had a whole host of snacks too; pico de gallo and brownies were a big hit....for breakfast! The game was not on CBS but ESPN and they had their own announcing crew. Unfortunately, our commercials were not the great ones that y'all got back in the States, but a repetitive cycle of cricket and football (soccer) commercials. That was a bit disappointing, so too was Prince's halftime show. (Who made that decision, by the way?) All in all, it was great fun, even at 5am in the morning.

Brett and Merritt,
Best thing about the super bowl is the commercials.
Can always review them on line.
We liked the one about teaching immigrants how to order a "bud". And the blockbuster one with the mouse. Clever.

Enjoy your days. They will go by quickly. Won't be long Merritt and you will be back in the states planning your next travel to Fla. to see Gpa and Gma.
Love your updates.
