Beauty in India

It's been great to be here with the film crew because I can tag along on their outings.  Yesterday we went out early so that they could film the sunrise and got to see how the locals start their day.



Early in the morning the boys all head to the river to bathe.  It was a little too chilly for my liking but I'm sure it would be very refreshing in the heat of the day!


Traveling with the film crew draws a crowd.  Everyone wanted to see what we were doing and most were eager to have their pictures taken.


We went out to the rice fields and a banana plantation where people were just getting to work.



The women in India are beautiful.  This morning I was talking to a woman with intricate henna decoration.



I went to a sari store as well.  There were thousands and thousands of saris, three floors with stacks and stacks of material.  I didn't buy one (barely can fit everything in my bag as it is!) but everyone else did.  They had saris made from all sorts of silk and cotton.  They even had some dyed with vegetable dyes!  


The entire town was colorful.
