Thus Far

Here are just some pictures of the trip thus far. I know there are a lot, but I figured if I don't put a hand full in this post, they won't ever be posted! 

Kaylee and I were VERY excited to ride the bus/shuttle (whatever it was) over to the plane at LAX! We got first class service! The two of us didn't have to be crammed in the back with everyone we were in the very front by the driver! 

By myself for the 14.5 hour flight...let the flights begin! 

This might look a little odd, but was very delicious! Creme Brule Sesame Seed Cake. Fantastic!! 

Okay, so here are a couple pictures of the clouds we were in. They are SO FLUFFY! 

I just thought they were beautiful! 

One stop in Hong Kong! Look at that. So exciting. 

This morning on the way to church. Aubrie, Kaylee, and Me. 

Here are just a few pictures that I liked. They capture this part of the town around the airport, church, and the hotel that we are at for two nights. 

These scooters are EVERYWHERE! 

Papaya cart! Yum! 

Those little yellow taxi-like things are everywhere. They seat 2-3 and are open so if it's not early enough it gets to be very very hot if you take them. 

There is construction all down the main road because they are making a metro! There are lots of scary drivers... The lanes are more like guidelines...the stop lights too... 

Family on the scooter. That's what everyone does here! 

Just a happy lady walking to church. We saw her at church which was just down the road a bit! 

The LDS meetinghouse

Kaylee all excited for church! 

I am not sure if this is Tamil or Hindi. However, both languages are spoken here. The speakers at church would switch between Tamil and English, so it was hard to keep up with what was going on at some points! 

Banana truck! (baananana as they say it here!) 

Well, there are some pictures of Chennai today and my trip thus far. Tomorrow we leave for the campus which is two hours outside of the city. We come into the city on weekends for fun and for church. I am so excited to go to the campus tomorrow and meet the children and get all settled in for the next almost three weeks! The adventure has started but barely begun!

I bought a little side bag today that is handmade and beautiful. I will take a picture of it and post it in the next day or two. I am so excited about my first purchase! I even got a great deal on it! Way to go me!

Goodnight now, I must catch up on some of my sleep. Lets hope that I can sleep until a reasonable hour tomorrow morning. It is only 1:30 in the afternoon here. Oh no. We'll see how this goes!
