a picnic and some cricket
Today we went with the DTS to have a Saturday picnic. It was great fun. About 25 of us piled into a bus and drove up the mountain a bit. We cooked rice in the morning and then brought a bunch of vegetables and some mutton (goat) with us and made the meat and salad there. It was an adventure because it was quite windy outside and so it took a while for the meat to cook.
This was the first week of the DTS and so it was a good time of fellowship and a good opportunity just to hang out and get to know each other better. The boys played cricket for hours as they took turns "batting and bowling." I've been in India for some time now, but I still don't fully understand cricket. It's a mystery.
