#236: 2nd Dental clinic, more games with kids, night train

Today we had the second dental clinic, where Rob actually pulled several teeth. It was quite interesting. I was still feeling sick, but decided to go anyway. The least I could do was take pictures!

 Lisa was teaching the kids how to properly brush their teeth.


 This little boy was the cutest little thing I have ever seen. I literally took like 15 pictures of him. 
He's just adorable!



 After they got their teeth done, they got a tooth brush and a sticker!


 Poor kid got his tooth pulled.

 All of these kids got at least one of their teeth pulled.




After the dental clinic, the kids from the orphanage came over to the mission. Their were games and crafts and all sorts of activities to do.
Unfortunately I was still feeling under the weather, so I was told to take it easy. Actually, it was earlier in the day that Phil found out something that prompted him to want to put me on bed rest the entire rest of the trip.
He was told that the roads in India are so bad that it is not recommended for pregnant women (especially in their first trimester) to travel on those roads. Apparently shortly before our arrival, a woman actually had a miscarriage because of all of the crazy bouncing around on those terrible roads. The man who informed Phil said that American doctors don't realize how terrible the roads are, and so they give the go ahead to travel while pregnant. But the Indian doctors strongly warn against it.

So needless to say, Phil's protective instincts kicked in full force and made sure that I took it easy the rest of the trip. And fortunately, we were finished with all of the driving on those terrible roads.

That night we boarded a train for Agra- where the Taj Mahal is located. And it was on that stinkin train that I got another cold.
