India

(Lesley) Sam and I are in India.  We made it safe and sound and sweaty.  Sam got to the computer before me so you should read his blog for news.  I will take my turn in a few days.  India may have changed a lot since I was last here about 22 years ago but... It is still India and from what I've seen, in less than 24 hours, much of India is still the same as it was long ago.  Sure, there are more cars, more cell phones, and lots of name brand things that weren't here 22 years ago, but the smells, the noise, the pollution, dirt and dust, well... the sensory stuff is still very much the same.  I'm pleased about that.  I'm not complaining. I think I would have missed it or certainly misssed the fact that my kids might not have a chance to experience it. Well that's all for now.
But I will  make you all jealous, Sam and I had a nice meal out for less than two Canadian dollars tonight. Combined, including chai.  mmm!

  2. I'm drinking Chai here right now! Too funny... though it's probably not as fragrant and spiced... but it IS good, from Murchey's in Victoria!
