The work with the biological waste treatment was slow going. Many Aurovillians were helpful in giving us what knowledge they had, we just had to piece it all together into a workable system. By the time we left, we were finally hammering out the final details of a pretty comprehensive and feasible plan. Matt, another person staying at the forest, helped with the research, and we have entrusted him with continuing the project (Go Matt!). We hope that we will get pictures someday of the completed system.
We are now in Madurai. We wanted to break up the trip across the southern tip and Madurai was smack-dab in the middle. It has a famous temple that is known for its touts. But we braved it anyway. The colorful sculptures on the gopuras (tower entrances) would take a year to fully appreciate. They are exploding with carvings of people, gods, animals and everything else. We are back to eating the normal Indian diet...thali.
