Wow! What an incredible experience, and it’s only been two days since arriving in Delhi. The flight was long, but well worth the trip.

Our group of Manitoba travellers is full of great personalities and I look forward to getting to know each of them over the next three weeks. It is clear that everyone is absorbing the culture, but in their own unique way. Some like to sit and quietly observe, while others like to jump around and are not afraid to share their enthusiasm with the rest of the world… both are a blessing. Some bodies are still adjusting to the food, time zone, heat and humidity, but hopefully with time, the healthy bodies will be restored and able to move at the anticipated pace. Unfortunately, this is a reality of traveling that cannot always be avoided. I can only hope and pray that I will not be knocked down myself, but if it happens, so be it. It is what is. I’ve always felt that you need to take chances to experience life.

I won’t go into detail right now of where we’ve been and what we've seen because there is simply too much to write in one sitting. Besides, there is a great educational link that provides a full description of the trip… Check it out.

Next stop, Agra and the very famous Taj Mahal. I’m looking forward to the five-hour bus ride through the countryside. My body could use a long snooze, but with the mind buzzing the way that it is, I don’t expect to sleep much on this trip. I guess I’ll catch up on my sleep in the peg.

Peace and love.

Jeff.
