In the morning we did “yoga” or at least tried, as you can see. We then took a jeep up to the temple and left Grandpa in the jeep as the walk was a bit tough. At 11.00am we gave out the bikes to the girls so that they could get to school and also to the local vocational training center. The girls who got the bikes told us how important they were for travel and safety and also the last bike was given to a BBA worker so she could get to work, working with the Banjara people. The temperature was hot, but there was a breeze so was not as hot as it could have been the last week the temp had got to 134F. In the afternoon we went shopping at the vocational girl training center it was just to learn what they were making but when we  saw there work we wanted to buy. I tried my “Indian bartering” when the lady said 400 rupees I told her sternly I was not going to pay more than 500 rupees it was so funny. The girls then invited us to dance, it was now only about 105F outside but we danced for an hour (still sore).

One more swim, lunch then a cultural program where they told us in dram how the students had been forced to work and rescued, then we danced again to bollywood music – the best at still 100+F. Then to bed.
