the true attack of the kids.

So, the kids here love taking photos. Wether it is being in them or taking them with your camera. lol. So the kids have taken over 300 pictures with my camera and a lot of them are actually really good. i just went through and honestly grabbed random ones to show you some of them. i think i might do a flickr account or something for all the photos, cause this is not the best or quickest way to go. 





















So this weekend we went to Mahamalapuram, which is a tourist town, and got 3 pairs of pants. one pair is Alibaba pants, Fisherman pants, and just nice linen pants. All custom made. I will post pictures on the next post, cause the cardreader is missing right now. but they are awesome. Then we went swimming in the ocean. it was great...till i got stung by a jelly fish. IT HURT. Since i was with a bunch of med students and 2 it doctors they told me i had to pee on it to stop the reaction. I did...was extremely gross. WAIT , dont go looking it up online cause i already did, and found out it doesn't do anything for it. Thank you 2 doctors, pre med students and nursing students for that. So the sting felt like i got electrocuted, but the hotel we were at said there are no Jelly fish in their waters. So the mystery is...What got me? The swelling went down in a couple hours and i have a cool looking rash thing on my wrist. Other than that. I AM DOING GREAT. Loving life and loving just everything really. Food is amazingly simple and delicious. I think i might see if i can get a recipe or two and have an indian dinner night back in the states. Eat off of banana leafs and with our hands. lol FUN!!!! OK i need to go play with the kids now. 

Love you all and talk to you soon.

P.S. I am not going to be having the computer with me till tuesday evening, so just to let you know my post might not be till wednesday. Not sure, we will see. 

P.P.S. Thank you for those who have left comments, it makes it nice to keep writing when i know people are reading.

Medical students tricked you into pissing on yourself, eh? What about the Hippocratic oath?

Glad to see whatever stung you didn't kill you. Jelly fish or not. Thank goodness you're surrounded by medical people or else I would be really worried. Anyway, glad to see you're having a fun time in India. It looks like you're making a big impact on those kids just by being their friend....and giving you their camera. Can't wait to hear more. Be safe...and no more jelly fish got it?

Love always,
You're little sister, Alexis

Just to clarify, The Medical Students/Nursing Students(i have learned there is a difference) had heard and thought it was true. When i told them, they were surprised.
