March 22, 2012

Yesterday we went to a local bazaar. It's actually the arts and crafts village called Shilparamam
Claudia found a purse she loved :)

















I found some nice scarfs :) Claudia took a picture of me with the sales guy


























Tomorrow is Ugadi festival (the start of the lunar calendar in our state Andhra Pradesh) and Mikey had to wear his formal outfit to school today. Claudia took a picture of him with our maid Laxmi















Today we were driving around with Robert and found some neat villages. Claudia took a picture of one of the houses. They put Mango leaves over the door to celebrate the new year and Ugadi festival.
Here is what Claudia wrote:
This morning Rob took us through a small, out of the way village before going to his job (their driver meets us there and then uses the car) and we saw women washing clothes while beating them against rocks in front of their small dwellings. We also saw wild pigs and many more buffalo (weird looking cows with huge horns) out in the street. Cars and motorcycles just go around them.
I love the picture claudia took of a family on a moped!!!!
