Back to the Beach!

Hello Friends!

Last time you read we had been living here for three weeks and were barely settled in. Well all that has changed. We've been here for more than two months and our apartment is finally feeling like home...! While it still feels a little weird to be calling this twenty story tower our home, we have desks and rugs and it is so nice to come back after a noisy, dirty day in the city. Recently, our family, the team, and a bunch of students traveled by train, (that was a whole other experience), to a christian training camp in Digha. Digha is a town by the beach and it feels like the country compared to Kolkata. Dad and Mom organized a talk, and the rest of the team were in charge of seminars for the students. Meanwhile Karris and us kids were able to walk to the beach! While we had heard a story about  a man contracting a rash after swimming in the ocean, we couldn't resist, (being California kids), and dove in. The whole beach was really pretty and the water "seemed" clean. Thankfully no one ended up sick! The whole trip was an experience and hopefully mom will post more about it! Bye for now!  ~Addie
