This week was an abnormal travel week. I traveled 2,114 miles. I traveled to Port Blair, Andaman, India through Chennai and I also visited Chennai for the weekend to visit my friends Molly and Brian, who are also Americans teaching English with the Fulbright-Nehru Fellowship.
Since I arrived in India, I have traveled over 7,000 miles. I have visited Delhi, Agra, Chennai, Kodaikannal, Ooty, Kanyakumari, Mudumali, Kanchipuram, Bangalore, Pondicherry, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. These cities are parts of four Indian states and one Indian territory.
This week, I got around by autorickshaw, car, bus and airplane. Autorickshaws, or "autos," are the fastest and most common way of getting around town. They are small, three-wheeled vehicles that are usually mostly yellow in Vellore.
The most interesting place I visited in Vellore was the local movie theater. I saw the new Spiderman movie with some of my friends and their kids. A fun fact about Vellore is that the best French fries in town are the ones you can order at the movie theater.
