Chennai

We arrived in Chennai last night around 11pm our time. Not sure what time it was in CA. Our hotel was surprisingly nice. However, I was in the only room without air conditioning and it is hotter and more humid than texas in summer. I also slept on a nasty cushion on the floor. In addition to that, I had a fever all night. Pray I don't have malaria. Around 5am there was a morning prayer call at the muslim temple. It was so loud. I feel sorry for them, but they are quite disciplined. It makes me so happy that we worship a loving god that we aren't required to do that.

We just went for a walk around town. Nader was right, I have never experienced poverty on this level. I am super excited to share some of the pictures with you guys when I get back. We got to take pictures with and of kids out here. Its amazing. Most of them have never seen their picture before and just want to look at the screen after the pic. I taught one little girl the fist bump.

Anyways we get on a 9 hr. train ride in a bit. See you later.
