​Today we woke up to the beautiful squawks of the chickens, afterward we had breakfast with our homestay families. It appeared to be a remix of our dinner from the day before and it was as delicious as a meal made at home.

​We all met up at Klub Krishna at 9am to be greeted by our glorious companions (aka the faculty advisors) where we practiced the Yakshagana. We then set out on an adventure throughout Krishna’s village. We visited the first coconut tree that was planted by Berkeley Carroll 4 years ago, tried some radishes that were still cooled after they were pulled right from the ground, and made our way to the Cobra Temple.
 
​As we closed our eyes during a “prayer,” foot steps shuffled around us…and suspicion of why we needed to wear bandanas around our face soon became clear. We proceeded to have our own mini Holi Hai festival with music and dancing. To keep the surprises going, we were lead to a river and jump in to clean ourselves off. After some sharks and minnos, we went back to our homestays to showered, eat lunch, play games, and build deeper relationships across cultural differences. 
​We all gathered back at Klub Krishna at 4pm and asked the question, why are we here? Our faculty advisors then lead an activity to make us think about reasons why we should be here and travel to other places in the world. Then, Krishna lead us in a game of cricket. After some free time for more cricket and playing around with the soccer ball, we did ANCHOR, and went back to our homestays. We then ate dinner and hung out with our host families.
