Nalgonda with Srinu, Balu, & Hannah

Yesterday morning we got to sleep in until 8! Mass was supposed to be at 9:30am for Gratitude Day - apparently this is a very big deal here.  We went to breakfast and everyone had a plate of goodies at their place - I had a Taj Mahal key chain with some candies.  It was very cute.  We found out that Mass was post-poned until 7pm because the priest couldn't make it.  Also, we were supposed to have a big celebration with dancing and singing for the whole school - but the buses were "banned" which essentially means they are on strike - SO that was post-poned, it is supposed to happen on Monday, which is fine with me because it's my birthday :)
So, later in the day after lunch, Hannah and I went with 2 of the male teachers, Srinu and Balu to Nalgonda, on their bikes.  We went to help Balu fill out a Visa application form to come to the US.  The closest internet he could use was in Nalgonda (30 minutes away).  He was too afraid to ask the sisters if he could use their internet...so we went.  Hannah and I had quite a few laughs because A. His birthday is wrong on his passport B. The village he lives in is misspelled on his passport. C. He did not know his wife's birthday D. He did not even know which type of Visa he wanted.
So, we attempted at filling out the information, but we were timed out twice, and then I decided that we should probably just leave and we can try again some other time.  We left the little internet place and were on our way back home when I decided that I was hungry.  I was thinking that we would stop at a little cafe or something - but It's India! They don't really have "cafes" so we stopped at a Fast Food Stand. (see picture).  The food was actually pretty good! Definitely better than some of the Chinese food I've had back home (i.e. Golden Dragon in South Bend).  On our way back, the police were stopping everyone that passed by to check for their licenses, but the let us go by since we were Americans and guests of India.  Everything else was fine except when Srinu lost his phone somewhere along the road .... we had to go back to the place he thought he lost it and look for it. But sadly, we were unsuccessful.
