We’ve been in India for three weeks now, but it feels like months. Each day has its own challenges, excitement, frustrations and hilarious moments. I have yet to make it through a day without completely soaking through my clothes in sweat and fall into bed each night completely exhausted.
A few highlights:
Visiting Sarnath, the deer park where Buddha gave his first sermon. Went to a great museum (with excellent air conditioning - always a plus!), a temple and the ruins of Buddhist structures in the deer park.
Being interviewed by students at the Global Point English School about life in the United States. Questions included “Have you been to Las Vegas?”, “Do you believe in God?” and “If you got a marriage proposal right now, would you accept?”
Spending time at Nirman’s South Point School and getting to know the kids. No, we don’t know Hannah Montana.
Pictures: The auto rickshaws we ride everywhere. Students at the Global Point English School. A performer who came to our host family's house one morning with his monkeys. Cathy with the devil kitten that lives at Nirman. Cameron and I with kids at Sarnath.
This looks amazing Britta! Too bad you have not adjusted to the heat. I love the pictures. How are classes?
ReplyDeleteI love the students' questions! :)
ReplyDeleteWe rode in a three-wheeled vehicle similar to that in Chongqing, China - which is a hilly city - and weren't sure it would make it up the hill!
