long train rides

hi miss and bloggers,

methinks this will be my last stateside posting. saturday, i leave DC for mumbai/bombay, a trip that will take over 22 hours. i am excited. and a bit anxious, in a good way. mevarooski is planning a superb trip, no doubt. the adventure begins in goa, then to delhi where my neighbor tasked me with delivering a dictionary circa 1892 to a friend of hers, who is a retired Indian army general (seriously). at some point we'll head to rishikesh, where i plan on mastering the ancient art of yoga in two-three days.

oh yeah - the trip from goa to delhi will be by train. apparently, when in india, one must take a long train ride to experience the flavor of the country. little did i know that our train ride will be 41 hours! as in, nearly 2 full days.

miss, i think i have about 50 hugs to give you from everyone stateside. i can't wait to see you at monday morning in goa ... finally a monday morning that i can look fwd to!
