I can't believe that we're actually on this plane. We've traveled nearly 200km from Nellore to Chennai to battle traffic jams and a flat tire that left us stranded on the side of the highway for over 1.5 hours.  But we made it, like God said we would. We made it by the skin of our teeth.  We flew through the parking lot, through security to get on the last Indigo Airlines bus to the plane. Right after we boarded a general announcement  was made that all have boarded the plane. So we will finally be ale to eat again, after a long and hot day. The 2.5 horus of peace should do me some good. Our day was pretty light except for all the time we spent rushing. We were able to sleeping a bit before going to the graduation ceremony. What a joy that was! About 65 graduates, including Pastor Kumar's eldest daughter. Many were there thrilled we were there, let alone that they were graduating. Many asked for photos with us and we were more than happy to do so. I thought I would be a spectator at this event and sit in the back, but to my surprise I was fully involved in the graduation, including turning the tassels of the graduates' caps and placing the hoods on those who received doctorates. It was fun and I felt honored to be included. I wore a purple robe and matching cap. To say it was hot is an understatement. But it was fun. My parents and Ms. Naomi Walker received honorary doctorates  I accepted her degree...and the 5 lbs. of floral garland that hung on my neck on her behalf.I have to make sure I send her the photo. We had no time after the ceremony to sit and enjoy or relax. Pastor Kumar's eldest daughter had a Henna tattoo on her hand that I admired. She said she would do place one on my hand, but I had to leave with the group to get to the airport. We packed up from the hotel and headed East.
