Day 3 to 5

I have been in touch with the karma kab via mobile. I get these great text messages - "can't find a place to sleep, staying with strangers tonight!" (they are fine, that was 3 days ago!) or "our rick is being towed across rural andhra. Our spare tire was stolen last night. Great day so far!" or in regards to another team they were traveling with for a bit - "other team at police station, not sure what for?"

They say although they were far off from everyone, taking the inside route through rural areas, people have been extremely helpful and curious wherever they have been. With 50 or more people gathering around the auto in villages. Making it difficult to get through the village with any speed. Last I heard they were reassing the route, may need to head to the east and coastal way to make up some time.

Will update tomorrow with photos and more karma kab excitement!
