Yesterday was quite possibly the hottest day of my life. I kid you not. It was a sweltering and blistering day, but Hyderabad is still a wonderful city. Yesterday, actually we traveled in the bus for about 3 hours to see Nagarjuna Sagar Dam, which if you didn’t know is the largest masonry dam in the world, key word: masonry. It’s most likely not the largest dam in the world, just saying. We took a boat on the river Krishna to the ruins and museum. It was a beautiful day, but it was also a hot one. Nothing felt more heavenly than air conditioning, believe me. One thing that I did notice is that Hyderabad looks almost identical to Arizona at some parts. When we were riding in the bus and I was staring at the orange dirt and sandstone rocks, I couldn’t help but think that I was back in Navajo!
Today was a wonderful and air-conditioned day. We visited an ISB school for business graduates and entrepreneurs, and it was such a blessing to see another form of schooling in India. It was much closer to schooling in the US, and the building was new and beautiful. They apparently prefer the circular design, because they used it in almost everything. After visiting the school, we went to the mall and I got a manicure, which felt heavenly. Steph and Tiff got these fish pedicures, which means that they put their feet in a tub of water and fish and the fish ate all of the dead skin off of their feet. It was disgusting, and I do not regret turning that down. After this we went to an artisan village, Shilparamam, and it was literally an artisan village. Tiffany, Brenna and I went exploring, and as we were coming back we ran into a mob of Indians running in a circle. We decided to join them and dance with them. Oh, my goodness! They were so pumped to meet us, and we took thousands of pictures! I’ll show you some incredibly humorous photos; I had to wrestle my camera away from one of the men. Definitely my favorite part about Hyderabad thus far.
