Kodaikanal

---

After a second stop in Madurai, I took the bus up to Kodaiakanal. The only American mission hillstation in India, it is absolutely gorgeous, and after two months of heat, the cold mountain air really reminded me of home. I even had to buy a wool scarf and wear thermal socks to bed!

There's a lake with boat club, and the international school set up by the americans is apparently one of India's most prestigious schools now. A bit of an idyllic place to study!
I also found a John Wesley methodist church which just opened in January and has all of seven attendees.

You can imagine what a tough existence it was for the American missionaries who came here, living in such horrid surroundings and all!
