10.11.11 - So that's what a monsoon is like

          While we were sitting in class this morning, we got a brief taste of what the monsoon season is like in India compliments of the retreating south-west monsoon that quickly dumped a large volume of water on the campus and then moved on. After class, we did our best to leapfrog the muddy puddles that pocked the dirt roads on campus as we walked to the SOS orphanage. The mosquitoes were much more prevalent in the orphanage - presumably due to the stagnant water. Some of the kids in the orphanage were playing a variation of cricket that closely resembled baseball. It was fun to see how inspired the kids were to play as a result of our presence!
