| Honey anyone? (Dad, this one is for you. I couldn't help but think of those days as a kid when we used to chew honey comb like gum during extracting season.) |
 |
| Angie and her cup of coffee. |
 |
| Martin and Neenu with coffee. Cheers! |
 |
| A village scene. |
 |
| The local electrician. (Dad, thought you might want to show your electrician how it is done in India. :) ) |
 |
| All the doors seem to be wild colors with funny markings on them. I think the numbers and letters are the address. Never was able to get a clear answer to that question. |
 |
| This is the land in which I live. This is what my village "commute" looked like. |
 |
| Where will these feet end up going? |
 |
| More doors. |
 |
| If I had to guess, I would say he is making egg oothappam. |
 |
| Most of the time I would get blank stares or scared looks from the kiddos, but sometimes I could get them to laugh. |
 |
| The older generations are more eager to flash a smile to a strange white girl. |
 |
| This is that stare I was speaking of... |
 |
| A coolie we met on our way to a house visit. |
 |
| Teary-eyed. |
 |
| My team on their way to another house visit. |
 |
| If I only knew what he was thinking... |
 |
| This little darling was so active I'm amazed I was able to capture her photo. |
 |
| Eager to pose for my camera. |
 |
| The makings of incense sticks. |
 |
| Incense sticks in the making. |
 |
| These rag-tag group wanted me to take photo after photo after photo of them. |
 |
| What is a day in the villages without my shot of a weathered face? |
 |
| Notice the rope through the nose... all the cows are tethered this way. |
 |
| A typical mailbox. |
 |
| Those eyes slay me! |
 |
| Jennifer K., this is a sign advertising the tiffen meals. Just down the street from me is a tiffen service shop where you can pick up "to go" lunches on your way to work. I have not done this. |
 |
| The eyes! |
 |
| Again, the rope through the nose.... |
 |
| Ladies hard at work. I cannot hardly stand properly in a saree, let alone work the rice fields in one. I am notably impressed. |
Amazing.Pictures speak more than words.
ReplyDeleteForget my saree... can you please bring me one of those BEAUTIFUL children instead?!?!? They are so precious!!!
ReplyDeleteI believe that is classified as child trafficking. That is illegal. I love you, sister, but I will not engage in illegal acts for you. I'm bringing you back a saree. I'll stick in a few photos of kiddos for you. :)
