Ahmedabad to Bhavnagar

State of Gujarat

India

March 8, 2007

Dear Family and Friends,

I am going to Gujarat. Gujarat? 

A few people asked me, "Where is Gujarat?"  I didn't know either until I looked at a map.

South of landlocked Rajasthan, Gujarat is on the west coast of India. It's a large state with mountains, desert, marshland and a 1600km (1000mi) coastline. The population is almost 51 million.
