I think an update is in order. So let me brief you on the happenings of August. In early august me and the girls went to Kovalam beach which is in southern Kerala. We went for four days. While there we took a day trip to Kanyekumari which is in Tamilnadu. Kanyekumari is in southernmost tip of India where the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean, and the Arabian Sea join. I have posted pictures of our time there. It was really relaxing as well as nourishing since we were able to eat western food from the “German Bakery.”
Just before we left for the trip Sara and I covered a conference for her field placement. It was a conference that dealt with issues associated with children in Kerala. The pictures I took are pretty darn cute, so check them out.
The Germans have arrived: two guys, and four girls. They arrived about a week ago. For the time being I have two neighbors now in the hostel, but with Andy leaving I am still a single in my room. I’m enjoying my life as a single bachelor. The room is adorned with newspaper clippings that come from Grandma Betty as well as pictures from my mom. Any letters I get go up on the wall as well.
The MSW students have been gone for almost a month now and will return this coming weekend. I’m really excited to see them, but after they return I will be leaving for 10 days to take part in the college’s rural camp. We’ll live in a rural area and do grunt work as well as celebrate Onnam (the harvest festival) with the villagers. From what I hear it’s a pretty cool and life changing experience. After that I think we’ll take another vacation to the state of Goa where we will lay on the beach for a week or so.
In addition to the two photo albums I have referenced I have also posted pictures I stole from Caitlin which show me though her eyes over the past 3 months. Enjoy…
