This morning we woke up at 5:30 had breakfast at the hotel and then headed to the airport to go back to Chennai and back on the ship. Many people on the trip never went to sleep or went to sleep for about an hour because they were at the club all night. It seemed like fun and I heard that it was the nicest club in Delhi, but I was starting to feel worse with my cold and knew I had done the right thing staying in. Again we had to wait for about 45 minutes for people running late, but we made it to the airport on time and on the plane.
We finally made it back to Chennai and the ship around 1. I would normally head back off the ship to explore the city and do some shopping. Although this time I wasn’t feeling well, was extremely tired from traveling, and didn’t want to spend too much more money shopping and that was what I thought I might do with my time if I got off the ship.
India was such a great experience but like I have said I am still unsure of my feelings and thoughts. There is so much to reflect on and I don’t know what to take away from my visit. By the time we got back to the ship it was like a sign of relief and like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I know see how many people in this world need help and that taking a day out of your weekend to help others can go a long way.
In my service learning class we have been discussing service projects from the beginning and most recently discussing India. We came to a conclusion that the change we will see in ourselves from visiting this country may not come right away but slowly we will see the change and the things we saw and did we will never forget.
