This past weekend the whole group was split into pairs to go on homestays with an Indian family!
Me and Becky stayed with a woman named Jaialotha and her two daughters. One of her daughters, Susan, was 19 so it was nice to have someone near our age to talk to!
On Saturday we went with Jaialotha on a business trip to Dharmapuri! She is one of the directors of a preschool chain in India and this particular program in Dharmapuri was having a "sports day" program that she needed to attend! I love Indian children so I was excited to see the program!
Here are some pictures of the day!
During the closing ceremonies they had Becky and I help pass out the kid's medals and certificates! We felt like we were American Ambassadors ;)
On the way back we stopped at a roadside coconut stand for a quick drink! Its funny, they just have this knife where the cut open a hole, stick a straw in it, and you sip and enjoy!
The highlight of the roadtrip was getting to see wild monkeys for the first time in India! They aren't very common in Coimbatore, so I was excited to see them on the trip!
They are small, and blend in rather well but hopefully you can make them out! I'm used to driving down the road and seeing herds of cattle, but seeing groups of monkeys was so funny to see!
Over the course of the weekend we had a lot of authentic Indian food, thankfully they toned down the spice a little bit and made it more enjoyable!
Me and Becky were so thankful for the families hospitality and will always remember this weekend of adventure!
