The area surrounding Jabalpur, the city where I am staying, is beautiful. It is covered in forested hills with rivers and water reservoirs. Unfortunately, the land is not very fertile, which contributes to the poverty experienced by its rural inhabitants.

There are, however, some distractions. The University of Illinois team brought me along on a visit to Marble Rock, a large local multi-colored marble formation that can only be seen from the river that it surrounds. The students and I all piled into a motorboat piloted by a boisterous driver and marveled at the marble as the sun set behind it.
