Wow I can't believe I have been in India for a month! Time went by so quickly, as my time runs out I am sad that I will have to leave this place and the amazing friends I have made, but at the same time I can't wait to see my family and friends who I miss so much.
Anyways, I am writing this to catch everyone up on a few things I have been up to recently. The first one is my trip to a village about an hour away from Pune. We went to this village because one of my friends is doing a project there to try and enforce agricultural commercialization and some other things. The day we were there, the elections were taking place and so we became a part of some kind of march (I didn't really understand its purpose, but it was very interesting). It was a nice way to get to see the different parts of the village and what it is like to live there.
This weekend I also traveled to Goa! First of all, we travelled on a sleeper bus, which is pretty much a bunch of bunk beds in a bus so you can just sleep the whole trip! It was fantastic, our bus was at 10:30pm and arrived at around 8am, so I just slept all night and in the morning I was in Goa! The first day we spent our time at the beach and just enjoyed that, it wasn't the most beautiful beach I have been to, but it was very relaxing. We also went to some of the local shops and explored the town. The next day, we did a tour of Goa and visited a few temples and forts as well as the spice plantation. The spice plantation was really nice, we got to see how they grow all the spices and also got to enjoy a nice lunch there. They also had elephants so I got to ride one of those! Overall, Goa was a good experience.
Anyways, I will try to get better at this blogging thing!
