Stefanie and I flew the
whole way together which made it much less scary! We had our last cheeseburgers in
Seattle. I took forever to eat mine
because I wanted to cherish every single bite!
The flights weren’t too bad, it took us a total of 25 hours of flying to
get to Visakhapatnam. Stefanie and I met
up with two of the other girls in the program (Mckenna and Sarah) in Mumbai
where we had a seven hour layover. While
we waited we pulled some chairs together and watched Eat Pray Love. This helped me get more excited for our
adventure because in the movie the main character goes to India!

Once we arrived in Visakhapatnam we were
getting our suitcases and our two Professors were there to meet us and take us
to our home for the next 4 months. They
gave each of us a garnish to wear, they are very pretty.
They are necklace-like things made up of a
ton of flowers that hang to your knees.
I’ll just say, the driving here is CRAZY!!! I have no idea how we didn’t
hit other cars or run over people! Seriously they are so crazy here! I’ll have
to get a video of it. There were some
points where I just had to hold on tight and close my eyes hoping for the best
haha. We were lucky though because we
got to ride in a car that had some seatbelts.
Rigshaws, however, are much different.
They are three wheeled taxi like automobiles, you just cram in a ton of
people, no seatbelts, and no doors to keep you inside!
