Before leaving Prem Kiran



They fed me with the traditional banana leaf style-papdom, greens, plaintain , chapati, curry cauliflower. Jeba feeds me and what is missing from this picture is the pile of raw carrot, beets, turnip and cucumber that comes with every meal. They know i am veg, and I appreciate it. Most of there meals are vegetarian, but it is nice to eat some raw food-
And in case you are wondering, I haven't gotten sick the whole time, except carsick on the ride out from Mumbai the first day. There's a lot of start and stop driving , those water buffalo really don't care about getting out of the way on your clock. And then there's the guy who just stops his car in the highway lane to get out and pee on the side of the road.  And coming back to Hyderabad last night, there was a roundabout that connected to another roundabout and an unfinished part of the highway that turned into a makeshift one lane dirt ramp onto another highway.
well anyway, I ate well and all is well in that department.

They also dressed me in a sari:






The balloon scavengers..

    Hi again Bethany,
    LOVED the photos of the art work you & the kids are doing. Amazing! AND GREAT! NO KIDDING.I taught art in high school until I got tenure, so I have a bit of "street cred," and feel my comments on the art work hold water.Must be the yoga.
