I left Kollegal yesterday morning. My body was worried I'd miss my bus so i woke up at 3. 30 am, forced myself to stay in bed until 4, then got ready. I said my goodbyes to the girls, and shed a few tears. Babu took me to the bus stand and in two and a half hours i felt away from India..i was in a big city.. and SHOCKER there were people. I even saw other foreigners. And i had a donut! It was the closest thing to baking i could get. tee hee. Anyways, Lilo took me to the shopping centre, and we just walked around. I tried some interesting new fruits, and then has a western supper of a fantastic pasta that Lilo made. In the morning i had CEREAL AND BREAD WITH JAM... i never thought I would be so excited for a western breakfast. Of course i had coffee.
Again, this morning I was worried about missing my train. I woke up at 3.30, then half slept until 5.30. My train was 5.5 hours to Chennai. I could feel the heat rising. I even got a sun burn on my arm, and my face is rosy! My bag weighs about a million pounds, my real estimate is about 70. So it was a struggle getting it to stay somewhere on the train. Some nice men helped me lift it up and store it away. Thanks to them! Then i basically listened to my i-pod and started the book 'a fine balance'. At the station I found Russal quickly and it was almost 2 hours to the home.
There is something about this home that screams family. I am so happy to be here. The girls cried when they first saw me, but already after 5 hours are cuddling and playing with me! I am looking forward to a)sleeping in and b)being here at the baby home.
Keep me in your prayers in my last few days in India. (9 days... eeek) Maybe pray that i won't melt.. chennai IS HOT! today was a cool day of 90 degrees... and it rained.. a miracle! but that doesn't change that it is SO hot here.. it will probably reach about 100-110 while i am here...
Thanks again. See you soonish.
