Swagatham!

On November 29, another amazing adventure begins. I will be traveling for many hours to southern India. Who knows were this month of travel will take me...Will I trade in my western clothes for saris? Maybe! Will I give up coffee for the smooth, masala tea? Perhaps. Will I shave my head again? You never know.





(Swagatham means welcome in Malayalam, the most widely spoken language in the state of
Kerala, India.)

  4. Hey Ms.Macpherson,
    It looks like India is really interseting and that there is a big difference in culture in India from the U.S.
