We are down to the final days of this trip, and while the students are busy finishing up all the last minute assignments, I have been busy coordinating to see the last of the tourist sites for the trip. Last weekend we headed to the east coast of India to Mahabalipuram, which is outside of Chennai. We stayed at the Chariot Beach Resort, which is on the Bay of Bengal, and has the largest pool I have ever seen. Many of us chose to just spend the weekend relaxing. It was hot and humid, so when we were outside, we were usually found in the pool! On Sunday, it was back to Bangalore, and time to prepare for the upcoming week.
For me, the weekend has been about setting up site seeing trips for the 2 faculty members that are teaching this session. Yesterday, I accompanied them to Shiva Temple:
It was a great experience, and we were all glad we took the time to visit. Today they headed to Lal Bagh, the botanical gardens. However, since I have already been, I stayed back to work on some other things. This weekend we are planning on going to Cubbon Park, as well as getting in some shopping for the remaining souvenirs we have yet to buy. Our time in India ia quickly coming to an end, but for most, the excitement to get back to friends and family in the states is growing exponentially with each day.
