On the final day of our 5-day trip, we visited a massive temple composed of four superstructures and an inner sanctum. The most interesting aspect of the temple was the large pond at the center. This body of water enables rainwater harvesting and provides a place for people to bathe and wash their clothes. however, the water has seen better days - it was a nasty greenish-brown color and several fish were seen floating belly-up. The next stop was a mangrove forest, where we got to go on guided boat rides through the vegetation. Some of us forgot that we were in India since the forest was similar to Florida.
I got a glimpse of the Indian sense of humor when we were ordering ice cream at a restaurant after boating. Eric said, "none for me," and the waiter responded, "'non for me' is not a flavor - we have only chocolate and vanilla." With our stomachs full of naan and ice cream, we began our 4-hour bus ride to MCC. Tori had the brilliant idea of stowing herself in the luggage bins near the ceiling of the bus. Luke, Alexa, and I soon followed. It was nice to arrive back at MCC. This place is starting to fell more like home away from home.
