Images

So, these are--finally--some pictures of life in India. The first one, on the left, is of my fourth grade class. They look sweet, I'm sure, and were, as sweet as fourth graders can be when they have a substitute... I am so happy to have shared a bit of their time. As you can notice by the picture--as soon as one pulls out a camera in front of kids in India, its a clamor to see who can be in it first, most, biggest, happiest. They seem to think at times that a camera won't capture their image if they aren't within three feet of it. But gosh they are cute.


This is a picture of Dharamshala a view from the rooftop cafe run by guitar playing Tibetans. Prayer flags abound.

Above, on the right is a picture of paragliding. Yeehaw. To the left is the view from our hostel window in Gurgaon, south of Delhi. The building seemed abandoned, but in the dimness of night I noticed the twinkling of lights in the windows, and early in the morning one could watch the family as they rose, cooked over a fire outside, and set out working on the grounds.

To the left is a picture of all us lovely volunteerin' ladies at the Taj Mahal in our beautiful--poorly wrapped--saris. Talk about getting stared at, laughed at, pointed at!
