Spring Break INDIA

Grass huts, yoga, rafting the Ganges, night trains, awkward men, Holi, Taj Mahal, burning bodies in Varanasi, bouncy/spectacular jeep rides, delicious food, tea gardens, awesome shopping, meeting amazing people from all over the world, cozy/artsy coffee shops, colorful birds and amazing animals, pretty sure saw one of the 3rd tallest mountains in the world on a plane (where the pilot updated the passengers every 15 minutes during the India/Pakistan cricket game) and being in Delhi when India beat Pakistan in the semi-finals World Cup Cricket game!

When we got back the boys were swimming in the pool here at Shishya. It’s much hotter now. The wheat has turned golden and so many more beautiful plants are in bloom. The students come back to school on the 6th. I won’t be teaching English anymore but helping with the school project on the different states of India, teaching Life Skills, and leading the community service elective with Deepak up until I leave Shishya on the 23rd! The big final World Cup Cricket game is tomorrow with India and Sri Lanka. Everyone on campus is getting together for a big cook out to watch the game!

Life is amazing.
