Homeward Bound!

Sittin' in a railway station. Got a ticket for my destination . . .

Actually we sat in several railway stations yesterday on a marathon train ride from Shimla to Kalka on the Himalayan Queen then on the Shatabdi to Delhi--first carriage cooled by mountain air, second by AC. Altogether it was a day filled with sights and sounds and adventures, including the wild chaos of the Delhi train station and taxi driver negotiations. My guide and interpreter showed great skill at navigating these tracks and trains.

After a good night's rest, Rebecca and I hope to do a little shopping and meeting up with her friends before I begin the final leg of this journey (via Paris) around midnight tonight. You can view a video about Rebecca's life in Delhi

Meanwhile, Namaste India!
