We made it to Pondicherry!
After 30 hours of traveling, the team has made it to Pondicherry! We received a beautiful welcome from Aravind's International Guest House staff as well as a delicious breakfast this morning. The plan for today is to go shopping for kurtis, traditional clothing worn by women in India, and to finally meet the AROMA team in person. We have an eye camp this weekend, so we will be spending the next few days preparing our imaging device and app for testing.

Upstairs where our rooms are located. The top is open, so when it rains the water drips through.
