Hi everyone ! Sorry it's taken me so long to get an update on here. We were kind of cut off from the outside world and it felt good :) what an incredible week it has been.
We arrived in the state of Tamil Nadu on Sunday afternoon . It was definitely a culture shock , it's not everyday you see a cow blocking traffic . Traffic is a whole other blog , lol . Our hotel was exactly as Barbara described . Take a Motel 6 , send it back to 1974 and take it down 2 stars. Got settled and then went to see the kids and that is when I will look back and say my life changed . They greeted us with drums , dancing , fire crackers and hugs . It hit me so hard , I guess I was expecting sadness in this place but it was full of joy and love . These kids were happy and that happiness came from deep within them. We danced , we tried to learn names lol , we just played like kids . We stayed until 9 and got in the auto to drive back to the hotel . I was sitting in the back , legs hanging out and looking at the lightning in the distance and thinking I really don't remember a better day than this one .
I'll be posting some pics in a few , as soon as I can figure out how :(
