Welcome to India

Lots going on everywhere I look.

We are in Kolkata/Calcutta...and just walking about 6 feet there are about 20 different things going on. I will have to come back and put pictures and details about where we slept last night...rats, roaches, spiders, scary pictures, squatters, padlocks, dirrrrrrty sheets (we bought big scarves to lay over the sheets), ummmm we felt safe....did we feel clean, that's a negative. So we might be shelling out some more rupees in the nights to come so we can sleep soundly. An experience I will never forget thats for sure.

On the topic of experiences I will never forget...this morning I went to 6AM mass at the Mother Teresa House. It was wonderful, I wish we would have been here long enough to do some volunteer work.....IT was on the second floor right above the room where her resting place is. I will give the play by play of the morning in a post to come. I don't want to leave anything out from my walk to mass and my walk home...

Cross your fingers we have all eaten and all of us are feeling tip top....tonight we are brave soldiers taking a sleeper train....all the 1st class cabins were full so we will be strapping all our belongings to us for the 12 hour ride to the mountains...we can do it....maybe cross your toes for us too??

  1. You will be fine--since you made the effort to attend mass I believe you will be watched over. My toes and fingers are crossed though--just in case. Love you, DOTP
