Words cannot express how sad I am to say that today was our
last day in India. We have started our goodbyes, which has been extremely
difficult. The assistants today were super adorable and gave me a bunch of
little gifts and a card.
Priya, who I have come to love, wrote me her own little note
and gave me the keychain and bouncy ball shown in the picture. Her note was translated into English so I could read it, which I thought was just adorable. They told me I
needed a flower in my hair today, so they picked out a beautiful rose. Yes, that is a bobble head dog.
***Picture once I can get it uploaded.
Seeing their cheerful faces waving goodbye to me as we
pulled away made it that much harder to leave. I’m truly going to miss everyone
at Dr. Gurucharan’s office.
We ended our night with another wedding. The wedding was the
Stephen’s nephew, so it wasn’t quite as weird that we were. After the wedding, we went to the reception where
they serve food and everyone sits and watches people talk to the bride
and groom and get their picture taken. 
This is at the end of the wedding as the bride and groom were walking out. The bride was wearing a sari instead of a wedding dress which is the typical wedding attire for women in India. Notice the guy on the keyboard. He was their DJ and jamming out to all of the songs.
The reception. The bride and groom are up on stage and slowly people line up to go talk with them, give them gifts, and take pictures.
After the wedding we had to go for ice cream one last time
at Ibaco and say bye to everything on our way back to the hostel. Today has
been so hard on all of us, I can’t even imagine what tomorrow will be like as
we pull away on the plane.
