Greetings from Chennai! This trip has been interesting since we have been alternating between large cities and smaller ones. Chennai is the 4th largest city in India and it seems to be a very happening area. I am looking forward to exploring the modern-looking mall near the hotel.
Today we broke into smaller groups of 4 to visit different schools. These smaller groups allowed us to talk with the teachers one-on-one, blend in with classes, and get a better feel of the school environment. (When all 16 of us go to a school, we tend to disrupt the learning taking place.) I think all of us really felt the experiences we had today were very special.
I think I only had 2 cups of tea today (on the low side for the typical amount of tea consumed by all of us in this program.) I can't remember when I've had so much tea! In the last city, I think we had one day that we had 4 or 5 different places to vist that each offered us tea. Although I can appreciate a good cup of tea (and some of the tea we have had has been very good), I don't think I am as fond of it as the people in India.
