College Hill

The college campus is nestled among gorgeous hills, which provide lovely scenery despite their responsibility for radiating the sun's heat onto the town. This morning we woke up before dawn, met up with our friend Swetha and hiked up the closest of these hills, known as College Hill.

It was not a long hike, and we made it up right as the sun was breaking over the hills on the horizon. Because it had rained the night before, the fog/haze was just lifting off the ground as the sun rose. We could hear the Muslim call to prayer and music from local Hindu temples in the distance. The air was cool and smelled like the rain. Swetha and I sat on a rock overlooking Vellore while Dave explored the other side of the hill. It made for a lovely, peaceful start to the day.
