When we got to the place, I was put in one room and to tell you, honestly, I have never felt so bad. I had to hold on to the walls just to go to the toilet. The temperature was very high. My wonderful friend Yuriy Dikov took care of me, he came and took care of my health and bought me very tasty grapes. And before that, at the top of the pass, after walking around the misty lake, I also managed to fall very painfully on my back and hit my spine. There on the descent were concrete slabs covered with moss from humidity, and my sneakers were very slippery. I understood that I might fall and asked the men for help, but they just went ahead, and I fell. In the morning after a hot night, Evgeny and Yuriy followed me into the room and led me out to eat under their...

I had a very good time at the Meenakshi temple in Madurai. I liked the people, there were a lot of them, and they were full of love for each other and for us, the huddled tourists. It was very nice when I was allowed to attend the wedding ceremony when everyone willingly posed for photos. They even let me hold a tiny girl, decorated for the holiday, she was so small, maybe one month old. It seemed that I had merged into one embrace with these cheerful and beautiful people! Я чудово провела час у храмі Мінакші в Мадурае. Мені сподобалися люди, їх було багато і вони були цілком закохані один до одного і до нас, туристів, що тулилися. Було дуже приємно, коли мене пустили на весільну церемонію, коли всі охоче фотографувалися. Мені навіть довелося потримати маленьку дівчинку, прикрашену до свята, вона була така маленька, може, усоьго місяць. Здавалося, я злилася в один об'єкт з цими веселими і красивими людьми!
