Pungal

Pungal is one of the many Hindu festivals here.  It's to honor the harvest like our Thanksgiving.  They offer food to the gods, decorate their house and beat drums.  Six of us were invited to one of our teachers houses to celebrate with her family.  It was fun.  They cook over an open fire outside and have satalite TV.  The dishes are disposable banana leaves freshly cut.  You eat with your fingers.

Snakes in India

We've killed a snake a day for the past week.  Two Vipers, 2 Kraits, a garden snake and this poison yellow belly.  I'm glad we have anti-venom in the medical clinic.  This is right in front of the Élephant House where I live.
