Bay Of Bengal

After visiting another children's home on Saturday morning we found ourselves 30 minutes from the beach. Of course we knew this would be the case so we brought along "our" children's home (the one located in Guntur) and the appropriate swim wear. For women that is what you wear everyday so a punjab and for the men shorts or even their underwear if they see fit. We piled into two jeeps which then became our posts for our tent (shade from the sun). After setting up we dove in… the water was perfectly warm and extra salty. It was a treat for us and for the kids. To spend that time with them is so much fun. We found some crabs and 3 starfish which I had the privilege of capturing for you! I am proud to say no one got burned or even red (as in me), we were all sun screened up for the 3 hours we were out in the sun! Heading home (2-3 hours) in a wet Punjab wasn't the greatest… but it was worth it.

Monkeys

How exciting this post will be. There was monkeys hanging outside across the road. Last year they said that a big fat monkey used to sit across the street but he wasn't around at all. Until now, there was a baby with a momma, then medium baby, a big fat one, and then a normal sized adult one. We threw an orange at them and they grabbed it and ran into someones drive way. Where they ate it up and watched us cautiously. Below is them in the cuteness.
