Kanyakumari

Hey, so we got to Kanyakumari on Jan. 9. It's on the Southern most tip of India and is a holy place for Hindus. It's a lot different than the Asram we were at. It's very loud and filthy. The place we're staying is pretty nice, however, there are lots of bugs (possibly even bed bugs! I have lots of little bites this morning).

There are lots of beggars. We try to give money but we've had to limit ourselves somewhat. It is easy to be swarmed and overwhelmed by the beggars. There are lots of homeless children. I've seen ones that look as young as five. It's hard not to give them money.

I'm really glad we're here. It isn't nice or comfortable but it's good to see this. We will stay one more night and then go to Madurai (a big city farther south). I'll have more to say later.
