On our way to the airport we stopped at the Kerala Folklore Theatre & Museum where we were shown around and then joined the Grade 2's to watch a performance that teaches the children about the cast system and humility. It involved Hanuman (the monkey god - how fortunate as he is my favorite of the 32 million gods to choose from). Hanuman blocks the path of a very proud and rich man who looks down on others. Hanuman then begins to mock the children and the 2 white very special guests and pretends to show his bottom and pick yukky things off his body and throw them into the audience, which has all the children squealing and rolling around in laughter.
Afterwards some children were chosen to share their experience of the museum and Mike was asked to say a few words also - he was a big hit! We are pretty sure that the stories about their trip to the museum will have as a highlight the meeting of the very special guests and not so much about the masks and statues!
