REFLECTIONS OF INDIA - IN YAVATMAL

January 24, 2007 - visiting in Yavatmal, Maharashtra, India

This day one year ago, our 2,000-mile bicycle ride was idle in Yavatmal. Joe had a series of meetings, so John and Bob walked through the marketplace, caught up on news, and basically went wherever Gope wanted to take us in his homeown. We were welcomed into his home and enjoyed wonderful cooking and discussion.

The photo is a tribal dance that welcomed us when we arrived in Yavatmal. The dancers are outreach workers of Maharashtra Village Ministries, young men from villages throughout Maharashtra. I captured the dance on video and will post it here soon.
