More rain and a day in Pondy

Wednesday evening saw rain and lightning in Amala.  Almost all of us sat out in the rain and enjoyed a cool shower (downpour).  See the picture below.

Yesterday we spent the day in old French Pondicherry buying saris, watching festivals and sitting by the beach drinking coffee  - sorry that seems indulgent doesn't it.  We didn't get back until midnight.  Don't worry we were back today teaching and working hard again.  Tonight we have to learn the lyrics to Summer Lovin to perform to the students.   Pity Sully who spent the day in Amala thinking he had a dodgy tummy only to feel better an hour after we left.

Sunday we leave for Tivandrum on a 11 hour train journey.  Next blog will probably not be until Monday midday at the earliest.  We are all well here and looking forward to a cooler climate.

Mark.

P.S.  Hoping to have video conference with school at 10 am UK time today!
