Hello from India. I am having an amazing time. Everything we do here is a new adventure especially the taxi ride from the airport to the orphanage and the ride to the Taj Mahal. My visit at the orphanage was an amazing experience to see those kids love all that they have even if they don't have water to drink or a bed to themselves they love you just being there to hug them, watch them play, or play with them. 
Me and my orphan friend Sujata. She's absolutely adorable. They will offer you anything and everything even if it's their last meal or drink for weeks. We did our own version of the Olympics for them seeing that it is coming up, and they all really loved that. It was amazing to see the joy on their faces when they got to get out of the orphanage and take a trip to Pizza Hut. They are so thankful and helpful, so no matter how hot it was or how much I was suffering they could brighten up my day because of their love. They also live this so I can endure for a week or so. I thing that was hard to endure was the getting eaten alive by bugs. The picture you are going to see is pretty bad, but it shows you an experience that I had to overcome with the help of a lot of allergy medicine. 
That's my leg right before I left the orphanage and being eaten alive. But, needless to say it was hard to say goodbye at the end of the week, but we did and I like to think that we made that week as amazing for them as they did for us. 
This is me and my pink team before going to Pizza Hut. At the close of the week we visited the Taj Mahal which is really amazing, and worth the drive even if it does take about 5 hours in a hot car made for just 7 and 6 people in it with your luggage strung up with just a little rope. I really enjoyed my time here for the most part. 
Me trying to hold up the Taj Mahal. India is definitely different from America that's for sure. I'm not sure if I ever want to come back unless I'm visiting the orphanage, but definitely a cool thing to experience. Well I guess that's for now short and sweet. 
Me at the Taj Mahal. Miss you all, and Much love Heather
