Losing track of the days - Travel day

Today we headed down to Kerala for our service learning experience. The day started off at 5am to catch a plane out of Jaipur that made its way through Delhi, Cochin, and finally landed in Kerala.  Stepping out of the plane we overwhelmed by extreme humidity and the tropical setting.  Hunter Alldredge, a previous Bridges to India member for the 2009 group picked us up in a large bus. While on our way to the clinic we stopped at a local store for some delicious ice cream in a colorful plastic ball. The roads became increasingly windy and narrow making the bus ride feel like a rollercoaster. We arrived safely to the clinic and were greeted with a Hindu blessing, where Laly the caretaker for the house, put a red dot on our foreheads. We have already been greeted by many local students and are really excited to start our service learning projects.
