We had our first family outing to Pondicherry yesterday. I was a bit concerned how the girls would react as "city life" (hustle and bustle, beggars, invalids...) can be a bit intense, but they did great - even in the old market, which is pretty smelly (at least the fishy part). It has been raining lately, which is VERY unusual in January, so we've gotten a glimpse of what life is like during the monsoons.
We went in with two friends from New York (Astrid and Elisha) and Larkspur (faculty) and Davis (Amherst staff) and met up with an old professor friend (Tim Miller) and his family, so we were 9 for lunch and 15(!) for dinner.
Next time we go, we will check out the temple (and hopefully see an elephant), the boardwalk, and the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. Maybe the girls can even show the Living Routes students around Pondy a bit (they arrive on the 23rd).
Enjoy the video (sorry, the video was not good at the Honey Dew).
