Post #4: Chennai

Mother and I arrived safely this morning at the airport at about 5 in the morning. It was very hot, humid, and raining. It was completely dark out, too, so now I'm wondering what it will be like when its not dark out and not raining. Hopefully the heat is something that people get used to. Hopefully.

We plan on getting acclimated for the rest of today (even though its already 7) and tomorrow. I need to find a cell phone, calling cards, and clothing that I can wear at the orphanage that is appropriate. On Wednesday morning we will arrive at Pathway ready to go.

Currently our hotel room looks as if a tornado has hit it, due to my 2 huge duffel bags that I had to riffle through to find my tooth brush. Considering Mother and I literally only brought 2 shirts and 2 pairs of shorts, the bags are completely filled to the brim with art supplies, and are therefore very heavy. The bigger one weighs more than I do, no joke. But this is okay, because soon all of the art supplies will be with their rightful owners, and will be put to good use.
