Several years before I retired from teaching, I, along with eleven other North Carolina teachers, was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship. Our assignment was to spend the summer in India and to capture the culture of India through word and photographs. On our return, we would incorporate what we had learned into the North Carloina 7th grade social studies curriculum. The following is a slide show of my experiences of that summer.

One of my closest friends, Bev, lives in Kannapolis, N.C. Her niece was a band member of the South Rowan High School, and they had been invited to march in the St. Patrick's parade in Dublin. So, knowing how much I loved to travel, I was invited to go along and help with the photography. It didn't take me long to pack!

I always heard about the Israelites blowing the trumpets and having the walls fall down on the seventh day, but I will also remember it now for the absolutely delicious fruit. I know, not quite a good comparison, but I'm just sayin'................that fruit was soooo good. Better than Florida!

Charles Dickens visited the Colosseum. In 1846, after his visit, he wrote the following: "It is the most impressive, the most stately, the most solemn, grand, majestic, mournful sight conceivable. Never in it's bloodiest prime can the sight of the gigantic Colosseum, full and running over with the lustiest life, have moved one heart, as it must move all who look upon it now, a ruin. God be thankful: a ruin!"

I was sitting in the lounge one day when this gal, who works in the beauty shop on the ship, stopped and asked me if I would be willing to be in her show later on that day. She was showing ladies different ways to fix your hair. I said sure. Here she is starting on my hair.

The Winged Victory, discovered in 1863, is estimated to have been created in 190 B.C. It was created to honor the goddess Nike, and to honor a sea battle. An earthquake is said to be the cause of the damage. The statue was a favorite of Frank Lloyd Wright.

The following day, we boarded Switzerland's famous Alpine train, the "Glacier Express." We went through the Furka Tunnel, which is over a mile long. We continued through the beautiful Engadine Valley until we came to St. Moritz, the resort of the rich and famous. The Crystal Hotel was our home for the night.

This is the theater where the play is held. Unfortunately, no photography was allowed. To see photos of this extraordinary event, and it is extraordinary, you can Google it. To me, the most amazing part of the play was when Judas hung himself. The man who plays Judas actually hangs himself. Believe you me, there was a gasp in the audience. Somehow he swings behind the curtain, where the prop people have to immediately get him down. From what I heard, it's pretty risky, and there have been some close calls. I don't think I would want that part.

There were trapdoors, specially constructed living areas, storage facilities, weapons factories, field hospitals, command centers and kitchens - all underground. This soldier is showing how the Vietcong would pop up and kill American soldiers. This was a good example of how horrible it must have been for our GI's.
