So in the summer of 2010 we took a trip to India. I was really excited to meet all my grandmas aunts uncle and cousins. We took a flight from Houston, Texas. We reached Chennai at =

= 3 am in the morning. I saw thousands of people at the airport. My other uncle picked us up in a cab. My grandma was surprised to see me and gave a big hug and kiss. My grandma‘s house is right next to train station. Her house is in a very busy street with kids playing, cats, dogs, chickens, and cows roaming round. People ride bikes, scooters and autos. My cousins and uncles have motorbikes and I love to ride on them through the busy streets and crowded streets of Chennai. =

= The night before the wedding our family went to the marriage hall. We had delicious dinner there. My favorite dessert was laddu and gulub jammun. I ate and ate….. The whole night I played with my cousins. The next morning I got up very early and got dressed in my beautiful Indian dress. I was very excited to see all my relatives that day. My cousins and I sprinkled scented water on the guests and distributed sugar candy to all the guests. It was a blast. The wedding was very colorful and magical. It was joyful, fun and musical experience. I felt I was in heaven and I didn’t want the wedding to end. =

= It was time to go. I was so sad, but we packed up and we went to the airport. We flew back to San Antonio. It was a long trip. It was night when we got to San Antonio. We unpacked our bags and I went to bed with dreams of my wonderful trip. =
