Change is as good as a rest.

As Carl has said, we had a wedding to go today and to be fair (not that I am biased) Marianne and I did look quite fabulous with the boys not even coming close!! I have also had Henna done on both hands and am really quite impressed with how fantastic it looks. Marianne and I are now sharing our second hosts and he is the current President of the Madras club (that means we must be totally on our best behaviour!!).

For my last evening with my first hosts yesterday we visited a Jain temple near their home and had dinner together, and then finished the evening playing Indian games - I even won one!! I must say a huge thank you to Muthu and Kamala as they have been so very kind and accommodating to me, and very concerned with my health - this is the first and only time they have hosted a GSE person and they did a spectacular job, and I already look forward to seeing them at the District Conference again. Unlike the others I haven't been eating much due to the climate and early starts, which has given great concern to people, but I am sure to catch up quite soon I would think - I am at least drinking more water than I ever have done in my life so if that doesn't pay off for my skin nothing will! This evening we are going to our hosts brothers Birthday party and have District visits planned for tomorrow, and an evening meeting.

Carl and James are keeping the group more than entertained and each day is seeing us grow as a supportive and enthusiastic team to each other and our friends we have made here in India. I now also can make Chai tea!.
