Warm Welcomes

Everyone here is so hospitable! We have been very warmly received by all here at Madras Christian College. Yesterday we started the morning off with yoga taught by a guru. The experience was a wonderful one, we did a combination of meditation and stretching after which we all felt refreshed. After, we had morning lectures on Ancient and Medieval India, as well as British India. The history here is so rich, it makes the U.S seem even more boring! After lunch we were accompanied by several students to the market place. There the girls helped us to pick out Saris, and we later tried to put them on and failed, they stepped in again to save us. After the market we were invited to a conference room where we were welcomed by the president of the college Dr. Alex. After giving us a brief and very passionate lecture on the college, he invited us to his house for dinner. We arrived to a smorgasbord of food, and friendship. Everyone here is so nice and helpful, they all want us to be as comfortable as possible. After a long day we all headed to bed by 10:00 ready for our next day, and new adventures.
