So I have 3 minutes on the computer to wrap up 3 days in India:
1) Stayed in an old convent/religious community center with lots of bugs but delicious food, a beatuiful campus and a peaceful setting in a jungley mountain suburb of Trivandum center.
2) Food is SO GOOD- not anything like the northern indian food that is common in the states, but it's been a blast to eat with our hands...but only the right hand because the left is used for other activities..
3) We've had a chance to attend the Onam festival of Kerala which is a celebration where there are flittering lights hanging in all of the trees, tons of people and crowds and food. Swings are hanging from the trees and children are being pushed by their friends.
4) We all bought traditional garm that is colorful and light and enables us to blend in much better- I can't wait to rock it when I'm back!
5) Classes start tomorrow, I'm POD (Person of the Day- so I run the show and logistics!), and then we move in with homestays- can't wait to meet my family!!!

Thanks for sharing this with us in your 3 minute window. (Nice time management!) Finger food always seems to taste better than fork food, don't you think?
