Ooty!

Ooty is a wonderful hillstation in the Nilgiris mountain region, part of the Western Ghats. We spent the last little while there......getting to know the awesome people who we stayed with. William and his family are rad and they live out in the boondocks in a Eucalyptus tree forest. See the fellow in the flowery hat? That's William. He used to be a super intense hindu priest who carried around a 10 fool sword, had a big crazy moustache and everyone was afraid of him..until Jesus got a hold of him. Now he's a big softie and full of love and joy. We rode around with him on his motorcycle and explored. He took us to homes to visit people and showed us the beauty of the place they live. God is so good. The guy in green is another Joseph, a friend who traveled with us as well. We took a toy steam train down the mountain when we left! We are learning so much about people and cultures and especially ourselves. There are some more stories below of our time in Ooty with William and his family.
