Today was our last day with our first host family. The provided us with such a great experience! I am so grateful for them and I hope all the other experiences are just as good.
We woke up this morning got packed up, and had breakfast. My stomach was upset but I got really lucky and there was toast and bananas for breakfast so I had that and a Ginger-ail.
After breakfast we said our goodbyes and we were off to see the Agra Rotary school. That was so much fun. Right when we pulled up we were welcomed with warm greetings, red dots, and earrings. We then took a short short ride on a bus and saw the progress of the school. They also fed us lunch, which looked wonderful but I only was able to eat a small amount because of my upset stomach.
After that it was three hours in the car to Aligarh. Boy is traffic crazy here! I made sure to take motion sick medicine before we even left.
After e arrived we were fed once again and then taken to a nearby school for a drama competition where they honored us with orange sashes and a framed banner to take home.
Then even though we were so tired, they had one more event planned for us. They had a rotary celebration for Holi which is coming up soon. When we got there they greeted us and welcomed us by coloring our faces. We then went on the dance floor and Bollywood danced with the group which was so fun. Then they tried to feed us again! They really love serving food here. We’ve been eating constantly, which is probably why my stomach was so mad. It’s like girl back off the fried Indian food and I’m like, but it’s rude not to eat when people cook for you ðŸ˜.
After we ate we headed to our new host families home. It’s a beautiful home. We were so tired when we got home we went right to sleep!
