Our accommodation at Tuticorin was in one of Amma’s new schools, still under construction. It was quite clean and comfortable.

My celebration of Christmas began on the beach in the late afternoon of December 24th. The waves were rushing to the shore reverberating against the rocks. The sea breeze cooled us.
