Summer Field Trip! The orphans who did not go to visit relatives took a field trip to Mysore, Karnataka, in May before John came to the US. Shown here are the girls in front of the Mysore Palace. Mysore used to be the capitol of the princely state and the king had many palaces and gardens here. Both girls and boys went. Shown here are (from left) Kanimoli, Tamil Alaghi, Guyathri, Suwathi in front, Mohana, Ellakiya, Yamuna, and N. Surya. They look so American in their western-style clothes! Except N. Surya, who apparently doesn't know her white outfit is really a pair of pajamas. :-)
