Priest

On the way to the orphanage yesterday we saw a monkey just walking down the street.  It looked like it was just out shopping for the day.  Super funny.  Things in India shouldn’t still surprise me but they constantly do.  Nothing more so than seeing a little boy from the orphanage jumping into the river to fish out a dead dog!!  Nice.

It was the last day at the orphanage so we had to give the kids a test on what they had learnt.  I tried explaining this to them but they all just looked very confused.  You can tell when they are confused or embarrassed as they do this adorable head bobble.  It’s quite possibly the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen.  The other cute thing is when they call me Auntie.  These boys make me so happy.  It was heartbreaking to say goodbye to them.  It is emotionally and physically draining though.  I feel like I have aged about 20 years. 

I am ashamed to say that I spent some of the day flirting with a priest who looks like an Indian Magnum PI.  I’m not sure if I can go to hell for this or if god looks favourably upon fraternising with this staff??  I seem to be a hit with the godly folk.  I met a nun who asked if I would be her best friend?? and invited me to her convent.  I said yes but only cause I am terrible at saying no.  I didn’t have the heart to say that I’d probably ignite into a ball of fire if I tried to set foot inside a convent. 

Just for Rach, here’s a picture of my beautiful elephant trousers.  Go on admit it, you all want me!!
