Tomorrow morning at 5am two of my classmates and I will travel to Bharuch City. It will be my first Indian train ride (so many first times!). This will also be the first time that I step foot outside of Ahmedabad within Gujarat. I am delighted, and I can't wait to begin to get a feel of the countryside. In Bharuch we will stay in a little Parsi hotel.
Today we visited Gandhi's ashram and it was lovely. The heat is unbearable today, as everyone waits for the relief of rain that has not yet come to Gujarat, but it was very interesting to see the historical site. Gandhiji's writings in Gujarati are completely illegible, unfortunately, but I will get some of his typed writings so that I can work on my reading skills (which aren't too bad!).
We had our first test today and I was reminded of why it was so significant for me to pass my generals exams (I am ready to be done with tests!). It was extremely frustrating!
The weather reports say tonight the rains will come, together with thunder and lightening, we'll see.
