Durshet

This week was spent two hours outside of Mumbai with sixty 7th graders at the Durshet Forest Lodge.  We hiked rivers and mountains, rappelled down a 'waterfall' and zip lined across a creek (monsoon has been light so the water was minimal), rode ox carts, visited with villagers, watched the threshing of rice,  and watched a demonstration and show of strength of the local martial art form.

 The monsoon season has only just ended, so everything, everywhere was green.
We loaded the students onto ox carts and road up to a small village.
 A young girl minds the herd as we pass by.


This shepherd was bathing his flock of goats in the river when one ran off. He chased and captured it and I snapped this just before he flashed a big grin.
