After getting a little rest, we met our host college students and volunteers, toured the campus and had an early dinner. Long day, and next 10 days are ahead of us, very exciting!

After a long journey, over 17 hours, from Boston to Bangalore, we arrived at Bangalore  Can’t wait to  get to Hubli and meet all our classmates!

Then we had to take a bus to Hubli, about 8 hours! Our friends from China joined us in this long ride.

Stopped along the way to have Indian breakfast, Idli and Dosa!

Students are excited to go to India for their   the winter 2017 Study Abroad program. They tasted typical south Indian food, Dosas(!) last night at a local Lowell restaurant. They are ready!

Tomorrow December 8 is a pre-India dinner to taste typical Indian cuisine students will have in Hubli! I know they will love it!
