Headed to Bangkok tomorrow. There my worries will slip away as I meet up with my travel buddy. Not only do I have someone to go clubbing with, ahem I mean see some more temples... but let's pray she is blogging more often than I do. I have fallen behind on keeping my loved ones up to date.
Maybe it is the eternal love-hate relationship with India or the fact that I have been having some real lovely times, but recently sitting in an internet cafe and typing away has been at the bottom of the list. It probably can be considered part of the "what on earth is going on in this country" syndrome I have been experiencing as I prepare myself for Southeast Asia and say goodbye to India. I am just spending too much time in Kolkata praying that taxis drop me off where I want to go and sending signals to the angels to watch over the package I just shipped home from India.
Not that I can complain too too much. In the past 30 days, I have seen the Arabian Sea, hung out with loads of monkeys, walked around the Taj Mahal, eaten some goat, seen the Himalayas, fallen off a horse, spent about 117 hours on a train, convinced myself I had malaria to discover it was indigestion, learned tidbits of different languages, and worked on my tan while my brother shovels the driveway. I have survived a month solo in India regardless of the crazy drivers and sketchy winking men. Life is pretty grand and its about to get just that much greater.
So see you in Thailand. If you don't hear from me, try checking out my friend at www.fpdiaries.wordpress.com. It will be a good way to make sure at least one of us is alive (just kidding, Dad).
Lots of love to those in the Western Hemisphere and good bye India!
