This album contains photos taken in February, a very busy and wonderful month that marked my halfway point on this journey. Toward the beginning of the month, my parents came to visit, and I got to play tourist (or tour guide), while enjoying our precious time together here in India. A few weeks after they departed for home, I departed for a place yet farther away from home - Sri Lanka! February was full of so many precious moments that are now so many precious memories.

This album contains photos taken in January, a month during which I had some wonderful opportunities to make some wonderful new friends in and around Aluva.

This album contains photos taken in December, and in India, just as at home, the month of December means Christmas! There were lovely carol services, huge Christmas dinners, and wonderful times of fellowship with friends.

This album contains photos taken in November. You'll notice that the leaves aren't changing colors, and the people aren't dressing more warmly; that's because, in November, as throughout the year, it remains hot, hot, hot here in Kerala, India. Enjoy these pictures taken in the month that India began to feel like "home," complete with Thanksgiving dinner!

This album contains photos taken in October, a month that was full of new experiences for me in India. It includes photos of a cultural program held at the college, a fabulous trip to Thekkady, and a few others for your enjoyment.

This album contains photos taken in India in September. This was the month that I arrived, so these photos represent my first glimpses of this beautiful land.
