Greetings Friends and Family!
India is more than I thought it would be! Sights, smells, colours, sounds...are extraordinary and breathtaking (sometimes literally!). I've taken over 500 digital photos so far to try and capture what we've been experiencing. I must admit we've been very busy on this tour so far. Father Creamer has booked various historical tours on a daily basis which have been mesmorizing and drenched in rich history and exquisite beauty. We've touched tombstones of great leaders, visited palaces and forts. These structures ooze with stories and delicate beauty. There is so much to share but the sand in my timer is running thin as we have to pay for a wireless internet connection wherever we stay and since there are 13 of us and one laptop it's been difficult to find time to write!! The weather is incredible - humidity is totally insane but I absolutely LOVE it! In some ways being here feels like 'home'...it's like I've walked these streets before and smelled these smells. The food and sounds, the energy of the street and the graciousness of the people is all that I imagined it would be and more.
The places we have been so far are Delhi, Agra (went to the Taj Mahal - magnificent!) and now I write to you from Jaipur. We leave for Delhi tomorrow and then fly to Darjeeling. I hope to find some prayer beads there!
Zach - haven't found any basketball gear yet!
Josh - still looking for comics for you!
Andrew - I saw some totally gross pickled animals in a museum today and thought of you!! They were all floating in liquid in jars.
I think of you DAILY and miss you much! I show your picture wherever I go and tell everyone how proud I am of you!
LOVE YOU and MISS YOU!
be safe and well and I hope to call you soon!
Namaste!
Mom/Carrie
