Just in time to miss Mayawati’s appearance in Varanasi, we are outta here!
Our last week here reads like a perfect microcosm of our last 4 months – moments of surreal India-ness, bouts of nasty illness and best of all, time spent with many many wonderful people. A few highlights, illustrated and not…
Breakfast, conversation and more momma-love than I could’ve ever hoped for at the hotel formerly known as the Taj with Amy and Leaf. I'm leaving Varanasi with a full heart and spirit, thanks to the grace and generosity of these two amazing women.
Dinner at the Radisson with Nisha, et al.
Tea with the Boulder Posse - thanks for connecting us Patsy! Words are insufficient to describe how lovely it was to spend the afternoon with them all...
Surviving my second bout of food poisoning – gotta love intestinal cramps so bad that you start to pass out!
One last playgroup at the Baby Ashram – Chris finally got to experience the joy of Quiet Day… and all the babies!
Bike rides in the driveway.
Finally getting to meet (and discuss married life with) (???) girls from the Bucky Badger Gupta’s hostel.
The ministrations of 4 of the saintliest men in Varanasi
– the Alliance Packers and Movers – I packed next to nothing and honestly, I feel no guilt whatsoever. Far cry from this…
Mehendi from IP Mall.
2 nights at Guruji’s.
Momos, “What Time is it Mr. Fox?” and Dots with 2 of Sarnath’s finest.
One last visit to the Pharmacy Guptas.
A Rajasthani feast cum reggae dance party in Guruji’s living room with Will and Rishi, 2 fellow Hindi students.
And now, what else but breakfast (and Single Plungers!) from Open Hand to fuel us on our outbound journey?
Look out Pune, here we come!
