The alarm went off at 4:30 am. We had gone to bed maybe three hours beforehand, but rolled out of bed anyways and pulled on our clothes. By 5am we were downstairs, throwing our bags into the car and paying for our hotel stay.
We made a quick stop by Akhila's house to drop off our luggage. We only needed enough for the next two or so days. We then picked up Lillian on our way to the train station. We arrived at the station an hour early so Akrita brought us to get some breakfast. Our train left at 7 am and we spent the next couple of hours (5 to be exact) in an air conditioned compartment of the train, watching the Indian countryside go by.
When we arrived in Guntur we drove to the hotel, dropped off our stuff, and left for a private hospital half an hour away. When we arrived we gave brief presentations on our projects to the hospital administrators. Then the neonatal team went off to the PICU and NICU where we were led around by pediatric fellows who answered all of our questions.
Prior to leaving, with Akhila's help, I bought a thermometer from the pharmacy located in the hospital for 44 rupees (less than a dollar!). We then drove back to Gutur.
We made it back to the hotel around 6pm. I promptly fell asleep, telling myself I was taking a small nap. When my alarm went off at 7, I switched it to 8. When it went off at 8, I turned it off and fell asleep, jeans and all, until 2:30 that morning.
