I mainly wanted to write to let everyone know how amazing eveyone has been doing on this trip. The ladies (and Ben) have been dealing with some pretty difficult/uncomfortable situations with increadible resiliance and style. Here are some of my favorites:
1. An reeeeeally long day to see Mysore palace and surrounding sights where we were squished through enterances and without a doubt saw more people that day than we would see in a month in La Crosse. Sometimes we wondered if we were the attaction or the palaces and temples.
2. 19 women without ANY drama. Amazing I know. (knock on wood please)
3. The constant rescheduling of our schedule.
4. How things will be starting in 5 to 10 minutes (see previous entry)
5. After we arrived in Kuppam we had lunch and them went on a tour of the medical college facilities. The very first thing we went to was the disection lab where there was a half disected cadaver with no arms. No one even blinked. At least until they saw the bucket of formaldehyde with a couple of faces in it. Ha!!! Still no fainting or anything. I was seriously impressed. (from the other side of the room. :)
6. The communication barrier and no one really understanding the level of education that they have.

Those are probably the most impressive things that everyone on the trip has worked with so far. I am sure there will be more and I am sure the students will be just as graceful as they have up until now.
Just to let everyone know, we will be in Kuppam until the 13 or 14th so we will not be blogging as much as when we where in Bangalore. So if you dont hear from us for a couple of days please dont worry. Like I always tell my mom, no news is good news.
