Anne M. Post #3

I’m not quite sure what to talk about in this blog post. Yesterday we flew from Bombay to Coimbatore. Coimbatore is more traditional, and feels a little brighter than Bombay. I wish I could have seen more of it. Yesterday I was very sick, and spent most of the time in the hotel room. I cannot express enough gratitude towards Professor Kelly for giving me her room, and for staying with me when I was scared. I also wish to remark on the hotel staff for being very prepared and nice for myself and the other girls who got sick. I suppose I should talk about my visit to the hospital. I was feeling better, but I went just in case. I’m glad I did not only for health reasons but so I could actually blog about something other than what my pillow looked like in the hotel room! It was an emergency clinic, and they normally don’t take cases like ours. But they were very obliging and kind to us. The nurses, I noticed, all had off white saris on, and I remember thinking how different that was. Today is much better. I still feel sore, and I don’t think I’ll be eating many spicy things, but I am confident I’ll be fine. Besides, today we are wearing traditional Indian clothing! Everyone looks lovely, and the colors just pop. They put jasmine flowers in our hair this morning as well, so it smells divine. Everything seems to be on the ups.
