I liked my photo better in the other picture of the group but I figured this picture was better of the rest of the people. Sometimes I amaze myself with my consideration. ;)
After having an incredible breakfast of various types of Indian food (imagine...there is actually food that even *I* don't want to add hot sauce to...Yum!), we headed to UCIFE's headquarters for more background information on India's educational system and culture. Jet lag caught up with many of us again in the afternoon sessions but my notes are much more legible than the day before (I hope that is a good sign that I am getting more adjusted to the time difference.)
At the end of the day, our whole group visited a Sikh temple and a Hindu temple. Outside the temples, we encountered some beggars for the first time since landing in India (at least in that amount). Many people needed time to process that experience.
As for those of you wanting bathroom experiences updates...I have added one of the hotel restrooms to my list of those I don't want to use. However, it is not because of the facilities but because they have an attendant who turns on/off the water, puts the soap in your hands, and even dries your hands for you. I don't think I am ready to have that amount of attention in a restroom.

Ohh, I like this photo!
I was just the same about the hotel lobby bathroom in Ahmedabad! The guy was at a little station between the men's and women's and then came in when he heard me flush! I was so embarassed and of course tipped him insanely in my fluster to am-scray.
Hi Beth -
I actually had to use this restroom this morning. Apparently the attendant starts at 7am so I was able to miss the extra pressure of figuring out how to handle the experience.
