Today is Indian Independence Day. To celebrate, we attended a parade near our house. First we watched the Chief Minister of Andra Pradesh raise the flag and ride around the loop by himself. Then lots of different sets of police came and marched proudly by, swinging their arms so high I thought they'd pull a muscle. Then came floats to represent different government branches. The best one had live animals on it--three cows, a few goats, etc. It was great.
Now we're off to spend our last official week with HELP doing research in a neighboring town called Medak.
