Hello all! Today we painted a house for a widow and her daughter.  The paint was made out of watery cement that we coated all over the house. It was hard, sweaty work in the Indian heat.

Later in the day we played with some of the neighborhood kids.  We had thumb wars, poking wars, and we raced with them.  They love down by the banks and playing hand games.  We will dearly miss all the kids.

At night we watched traditional Southern India dance performances. One of the ladies preformed a dance from Tamil (the state next to Kerala) and the other did Kerala dances that told stories about Hindu gods.  The dances were incredible.  One of the dancers had been studying dance for 18 years and is from France.  She even preformed for Prince Charles last week!  It was an experience we will never forget.

Be Well,

Paula
