Day trip

Today we took a trip to a water park with some of the kids! It was
great and ended with a holiday treat - the next few days in India, the
Hindu religion celebrates Pongal, which is a harvesting feast like
Thanksgiving. They hang lights everywhere like we do at Christmas, do
intricate and colorful chalk-like drawings by hand on the streets and
make foods like we had today - sweet rice made from the sugar cane
they grow everywhere. They crush the sugarcane and boil the rice in
stoneware jugs over an open flame. -it's delicious and we ate it off
of banana leaves. Now I'm off to bed - Happy Pongal,
