Sweets

This morning Jonathan and I walked down to the main road and bought some sweets.  We tried to use our Tamil but the man behind the counter either did not understand Jonathan or wanted to use his English-as he was very well spoken.  The sweets were very tasty.  We got two crumbly bar that were obviously made with nothing but sugar and butter!  We also got a sort of cotton candy ball that had a nutty flavor and some small nut bits in it.  On our way back we ran into some of the school children biking by on their way to school and we greeted them.  A group of girls greeted us back and then giggled to each other.  It makes Jonathan and I laugh when they do that.  It is really cute and sweet.

Yesterday we had a little free time and we walked to the general store and Jonathan bought some stationery.  The store was very interesting.  There were two older women working in the store and they followed us around and wanted to hold on to our stuff as we tried to meander around the store.  Also, you must take your shoes off when you walk into stores here.  On our way back from downtown all the school children we had met were biking home and we got to talk with them.  They were all so fascinated with us!  I asked them their names and they asked us our names.  We communicated in English.  I guess it was just the excitement of the situation that I forgot to practice my Tamil with them!

Today we are going to observe some classes at the school that I will be working at.  I am so excited.  The students are all so extremely beautiful!  We are also going to a mall today-Jonathan and I are pretty excited to purchase our Indian clothes!

I hope you all have lovely days...I know that I surely will!
