Delhi to Agra
Brick kilns with 10 meter high chimneys; a running peacock; 5 foot high piles of discs/patties meticulously stacked (turns out it is cow dung for use for fuel); woman in a bright orange dress and scarf threshing wheat alone in a large field; short, fat coconut trees; children playing a pickup game of cricket; massive power line towers to feed the cities; circular thatched dwellings with thatched roofs; a tea stall selling sweet chai; a family resting together in the shade of a cluster of trees, not far from a huge pile of harvested wheat; and of course, an absolutely clear pale blue sky. Who needs seatback entertainment monitors with all this variety and vibrancy on a five hour drive? Oh yes, lastly, students resting and diligently studying.

Back at Avila, the social work department is glad to hear that you have all arrived safely! We are happy to hear that the flight was smooth and probably had some "room" to stretch out if the plane was not packed! We will continue to watch as the week progresses! We are very excited for you all - and appreciate the detailed descriptions, Ken! Keep em coming! ~Lindee
