My week in India was a whirl-wind experience. The trip was surreal, and after only a week of being there, it's difficult to adjust back to life here. For one thing, there's a 12 hour time difference. Who goes to the other side of the world for a week? The exhaustion is well worth the experience, though. The days were long and intense. I had never seen such poverty or understood the reality of systemic injustice. They are no longer abstract words -- I've come face-to-face with them and looked them in the eye. I've walked their streets and washed their feet.
I think I'll try to go through day by day, or parts of days, to share more specific details of the trip progressively, so stay tuned.
