Updates!

We have been keeping pretty busy the past few weeks.
Over the weekend of the 5th of September I went to another town called Hyderabad and helped facilitate a simulation workshop for pediatricians and pediatric nurses.  It was fun to be involved in teaching again, although I do mostly behind the scenes work because my accent is hard to understand!  It is very interesting to see how teaching occurs with multiple languages being spoken within groups!
Here are a few pictures from the workshop.  At the beginning of the workshop we lit a lamp which is a tradition done daily in some Hindu homes but is usually done during all functions.
They let me be a part of this tradition which was very kind of them!




While I was away Aaron and some friends rented a rickshaw for a few hours from a friend of one of our drivers.  He took them around town for a bit and even taught them how to drive it!  It is a bit hard than you would guess.  Especially if you are tall.  As you can see here Aaron barely fits behind the driver seat!




There are a few girl here from Australia that I have gotten to know and this past Saturday we had a girls afternoon.  Went shopping, some of the girls got Henna done and then we ended the day at the Spa!  Got a massage for $16!  Not too shabby!  We were able to walk to most places but needed a rickshaw for one ride.  We were able to fit all 5 of us in one rickshaw.  We were pretty impressed with ourselves until a guy pulled up next to us with a goat in the back of his rickshaw!



We see a lot of interesting things on our walks but on Saturday I spotted a Lamborghini!  I can't even imagine how they drive one through this traffic!  But pretty crazy to see in the mix of everything!  


I am headed back to the USA in just a little over a week and am very excited to see everyone. So much has already happened since I have been gone.  These 3 little babies of my Luther Ladies are all getting so big so fast!  Aren't they the cutest?!  



And my dear friend Miss Margie has gotten engaged!!!  Even though facetiming at 4am helped me celebrate with her, I cannot wait for champagne and hugs with the bride to be!!
