Todd and I are psyched – we just got the official news that our votes by fax have been counted.

But, our stomachs are still in knots. Thankfully, the cause isn't Delhi Belly - we're nervous for the U.S. and California election results.

As you might have noticed, although our homepage map shows us in India, we're only just wrapping up stories of our travels in France. We're a bit behind. For this post, we'd like to skip ahead to the present: to India, to November 4th, to Election Day in the U.S. We'll give you a bite of Turkey tomorrow.

From our previous posts, you know we've already sent in our absentee ballot by fax and have voted for Obama. But, even if Obama is a sure bet in your state, you must get out to the polls and vote. There are many other critical issues on the ballot, so every vote matters.

Californians, this means you! Vote "No" on Proposition 8. If passed, Prop 8 would amend the state constitution to define marriage as between a man and a woman, effectively prohibiting gay marriages.
