Friday is in the books

Today we traveled to Nadhaluru. It took us 2 hours each way. It has a population of about 50,000, but it was hard to tell.

These folks really like their bands. When we arrived, we stopped to stretch. A band of 6 drummers was there. They led us on a small parade that ended where we gave the shots.

We gave about 60 shots. Several hundred people received medical supplies. There are rumors that the shots are dangerous, so some parents will not allow their child to get them.

Yesterday, we went to a Hindu temple. Legend has it that at that temple if you shave your head and offer the hair to the gods, you will be granted a wish.

Now I have to figure out what to do with my wish. Random notes:

1. We really stick out over here.

2. Today I saw a big wooden T on the back of a motorcycle. Hanging from it were about 20 dead chickens. Another guy had a couch on the back of his motorcycle. I guess it was moving day.

3. Every time I breach an Indian custom I just tell them that I am from KU.

Talk to you later.
