Sneak attack at the cobra temple

3/10/2019

We started off our day early in our homestays with a delicious breakfast made by our families. Once we finished, we set off to Krishna’s house for our next attempt at learning the Yakshagana—it was difficult to say the least. After a solid hour and a half of intense cardio (i.e. stomping), we got a much-deserved break…until we started another walk to the Cobra Temple (and on the way we walked by the coconut tree from the first BC visit 5 years ago for a quick group photo).

There, Carlos led us in prayer. Little did we know that this “prayer” was intended to distract us from the children hiding behind us with colorful Holi powder. Before we knew it, we were covered in the chalky substance: Dominic had pink teeth and Natalie had a green, yellow and pink face. Then we returned to Krishna’s house for a dance party.
After a few minutes of dancing, we made our way to the river. There, we waded into the river up to our waists along with instructors. Very safe! After, we walked back to our homestays for a much-needed lunch and rest-time. Next, we had a learning session with Carlos about our goals for the trip. Our last activity of the day was our trip to the school to play cricket, volleyball, soccer and jump rope. By the time we were finished, we were all exhausted and covered in orange dust. We then walked back to Krishna’s house to have a final meeting before returning to our homestays for the night.
