Welcome friends and family...

The blessing of delays...


As we sat around weary from the day with departure for train delayed and even in question, suddenly a wedding procession went right by our bus. Of course--somehow--Howard ended up in the middle of it then Penny then... um... MOI!!! Yeah, the music RULES me and the family pulled us into pictures with the wedding photographer. As I sit typing only a 10 yard walk away to the computer of my now shopkeeper friends, I am dripping with sweat! Amazing how something like that can enliven us all. So this is how quickly things are happening and I am lucky enough to feed it to you in real time until we depart for the train station. Some bad news I just learned is That Suzanna and Puran are heading back to Delhi because she is quite ill, feverish in fact and will be seeing a doctor and resting up until our departure on the 21st. She was a huge part of our experience here and will be greatly missed for the duration of the trip. OK word is we are leaving in 10 min. Must go! hugs all!

  3. I sit and smile as I read about the adventures. someday, years from now, a family will gather round a wedding album and the kids will say "Who ARE those people?" and the family will say "Howard, Penny and Wendy"...It is just so funny because they will have a story to tell about some americans who joined in the celebration. Just too cool!!
