Global Volunteers India Team Journal - IND0801a1

Sunday January 13, 2008 – Elyse Landolfi

Down to the beach to enjoy the fresh air, we were met with great colors and to our health it took care.
A grand kollum contest was much to our surprise, with bright powders and flowers it pleased both of our eyes.
Then on to big Ghandi, such meat on his bones! Standing tall and so proud he looked down from his thrown.
After a breakfast where a snail’s pace was kept, we were off to Sri Aurobindo Ashram where our mouths shut silent were set.
Then back on the bus on our journey until, we reached another ashram by the name of Oroville.
So peacefull and calm and also so green, the landscape at this spot was a sight to be seen.
A big golden ball marked a shrine to the Mother, it was a sight to behold unlike any other.
Inside it was a place that we could no go, what lies inside our eyes will never know.
Once again on our bus towards our destination we’ve become, so excited to see the stone carvings at Namallaporum.
A lunch was then had by the side of a pool, where a breeze from the ocean kept us all nice and cool.
Many carvings from stone we had all then seen, along with some monkeys who made us all scream.
It would not be our style to lack in some spice, and losing Ginny and Roma fulfilled that just right.
But all was reclaimed and order restored, and we all said goodbye with a slam of the car door.
And finally our weekend had come to an end, if placed on a scale it would sure be a ten.

Thought of the day: A little bit goes a long way.
