This is my last week of the trip and I thought that it would be worth it to write something down about my feelings on how the trip went. I'm glad that I'm coming home and that I can get a break from the heat, the average here is about 110 degrees F. We finished our classes yesterday and came back to the residence relieved. In the afternoon, I went to a local coffee shop and got a needed cup of coffee. I hadn't had real coffee in a long time and I was really craving it. When I got back I went straight to a cricket game that some of the students were playing against the local kids. After playing the game for three weeks, we still suck. But at least we can hit the ball. Last night, a majority of us had a party in the basement where it was cooler than the roof. We all dressed up in our Indian clothes and danced to Indian music. Today we are going to a school for the blind. It should be really interesting. A lot of the students are leaving today, they were able to catch an earlier flight. Which leaves four of us back at the residence. I think that we are going to the lotus temple tomorrow. If you haven't seen pictures of it, you should really look it up. Anyways I have to get ready for the school visit.

Last week of the trip

That was sort of a short trip. Was this just a Maymester class?
ReplyDeleteyea, it only was three weeks. But we packed a lot in for three weeks.
ReplyDeleteRobbie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your journal with me.
Your cricket skills won't go to waste in the US! A cricket game is a regular part of our department picnic at work. Like you said, it's a difficult game to understand. Mainly I understand that it's good to hit the ball and run around the wicket.
