8/12/98: We met Sunil on the train, and before we debarked in Chennai, he gave us his phone number and said if we needed anything at all we could call him… We were met at the station by Jaychandran who drove us to Roger & June H’s home… It is nice to meet them face-to-face… I wound up rather dehydrated and nauseous from the train ride, which is made worse by the extremely humid weather in this coastal city…
NOTE: The photo above shows a street vendor selling coconuts as a soothing refreshment from the heat and humidity of Chennai.
