We can’t believe we only have 5 DAYS left in
Coimbatore! The time has really flown! Was it really 3 months ago that students
flew into the city and began their experience? Was there ever a time that they
didn’t know how to barter for an auto, or dodge across the streets, or eat with
only their right hand, or find their way on the bus route by themselves?

This week is crazy with trying to finish everything up.
Students have final papers and projects to complete-art projects to create, a
clothing design to finish, and a cuisine final to cook, and an exam to take.
Meanwhile, they have to get in last minute shopping, eat out at favorite restaurants and
say goodbye to all their friends and the life they have made here.

We leave for our north trip on Sunday evening. It is going
to be a wild and exciting ride: 18 days, 76 hours on trains, 7 cities, rafting
on the Ganges river, visiting Mother Theresa’s Home for the Dying, seeing the foothills
of the Himalayas, and of course- taking pictures in front of the Taj Mahal!
Follow us on our journey across India!
