Every day when I go outside of my house I see new little kids in my neighborhood due to the construction of the two houses, one next door, one across the street. In India when people build a house they move into your neighboord and live in these little shack structures wherever there is empty space...then once the house gets up well enough they move into the structure until it is finished...I saw a new girl today...she was so sweet. I smiled and waved at her and I saw her run to a new place once I started up my stairs so she could watch my assent...
On my way to accountability today I saw...kids on their way to school barefoot, cows, a little girl going to the bathroom on my street, a bus SO overloaded it was titled to the side where 7 Indians were hanging on the outside of the bus door, a male construction worker put a piece of marble that had to weigh at least 50 pounds on his head to carry it to the construction sight he was working on...India...the land of true manual labor...
I am leaving in about 5 minutes for the next state over. My friends and I are going to video and take pictures of the famous Nehru Trophy Snake Boat race taking place in Kerala this weekend. I am excited as I have always wanted to visit Kerala, AND it will be my first time to step foot on an Indian (well, Asian for that matter) beach! Well, I must go, my 12 hour train ride awaits...
