We went on a picnic yesterday (Sunday). The staff made us lunch, and we went to a pretty valley (featured in the first picture) partially wooded and partially open with a stream through the middle. Some of the volunteers played Cricket, while the rest of us just relaxed, reading and writing and dangling our feet in the cold water. Some kids came and bathed in the deeper part of the stream (really bathed--with soap and everything). The second picture shows the cow who tried to join our lunch. After lunch, four of us went hiking up a trail, and we met a local who, I think, proposed to me. He said "I love you, come to my house."
The third picture is me in my kurta, salwar, and dupatta. Abby, of course, was my inspiration for choosing pink. It's hard to tell, but there are yellow flowers embroidered on the shirt. It's not the most flattering outfit, but it's very comfortable!
Last night, I went with two other girls to a local's house (they had eaten dinner with them the night before). They are our neighbors. They were so nice! They served us chai and sweet rice. The sweet rice, they told us, is for lucky people. So I guess we are lucky!

You look great! I think we all need one of these outfits.
I'm so glad that you're having a good time. Keep it up.
Talked to June yesterday and your Granny seems to be doing well.
So how sweet was the rice?
Please don't marry anyone while you're over there!!! :)

The pictures are all so beautiful, it just looks wonderful.
Everything looks beautiful and you were so smart to go to a place where you don't have to worry about strange animal parts making their way into your food. I'm really envious of your experience. Continue to enjoy yourself! You deserve it.
